if you installed aftermarket Tie rods, you'd find out what part of that diagram you cant use..and its important!


THE LOCK PLATE

that's why you MUST use thread lock. if you dont, then you have no excuse for destroying the tie rods. there's a reason URAS gives you locktite when you buy their tie rods (i'm told)

i think the TEIN manual mentions it..not sure about JIC, i can check my friendsnext time...

I installed the Tein tie rods and I used the spacer instead of the lock plate. I read the instructions that came with the inner tie rods and Tein illustrated that either the spacer or lock plates could be used.

I posted that picture just to illustrate the importance of thread lock.

Aaron, what's your problem? Your reputation on this board as a smart-ass sarcastic dickhead is really beginning to piss me off.
