TIE ROD ANGLE SPACERS

They are machined out of steel and coated with gold chrome.
The thickness is 7mm which gives you more angle than the typical 6mm spacers from our competition. $10/pair
ADD TO CART

*Attention:
You install these spacers on the threads of the tie rod that connect to the steering rack. You will have to redo your front alignment after you put them in. You will still need other suspension components like our new super angle knuckle kit to get more angle than the spacers by themselves can provide.
*Warning!
These will fit stock tie rods but you will be using less threads so use permanent thread lock! Many drifters have done it without experiencing any side effects such as death but install this part at your own risk.

The DIY parts kit gives less ackerman and 52 degrees of bolt on steering angle with no additional modifications!![br]

[br]

We used to only sell the knuckle conversion parts with installation labor but now for S chassis we only do the labor for the PRO mod, and the parts kit is DIY for nissans due to overwhelming demand from professional drift shops & fabricators.

The parts kit can be a huge relief of downtime & double shipping costs making the conversion quite a bit more convenient & especially helpful to our international customers who would need to spend a considerable amount to get the job done.

The MAX Super angle kit (parts only) is NOW just $200 shipped.
Includes:

1 Pair of MAX super angle knuckle box extensions

1 pair MAX Adjustable LCA bump stops

1 Pair of MAX super angle tie rod spacers

4 CNC lower arm gussets

Static angle example versus stock as measured on our shop guage from center to lock :
MAX Super angle kit = 1.25 turns & 52 degrees
OEM = 1.5 turns and 36 degrees

*max angle at speed is increased
*wheel well clearancing is needed for max angle

*NO CLOWNS! Seriously kids, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! These parts are to only be installed by a professional with years of experience in welding and custom auto parts fabrication!

This is the third version for the S chassis utilizing all of our testing experience to date.

After installation.

an interesting option that compliments the pro knuckle:

MAX Steering Rack Eccentric Bushing (SREB) set is finished testing and now in production.

~ Price is $50 with free shipping world wide in January (paypal [email protected] to reserve your set)
~ Production parts will be anodized gold aluminum
~ Prevents over centering of tie rod and knuckle to prevent heavy steering at lock
~ Takes ackerman curve from digressive to progressive difference while decreasing overall ackerman

So why is the progressive ackerman better? Its because you get a slower increase in ackerman towards lock, and a quicker ackerman increase on more modest steering inputs. In other words, your low steering input on a GRIP corner will receive the ackerman it needs and the DRIFT steering angle gets less ackerman per steering degree towards lock.

Can I used the SPL outer tie rod ends with the new knuckle design?

DC Dan MAX USA · 12-05-2011, 02:45 PM

You can use anything for tie rod ends but you dont really need to spend the money for something that has bump steer correction since the knuckle is built to eliminate bump steer using an OEM design rod end.

I normally recommend the OEM rubber boot covered outers because they generally last longer than aftermarket exposed bearing rod ends. MOOG brand seems to be bomb proof and reasonably priced.

Vikter138 · 01-18-2012, 02:38 PM

This setup is on my list. Can't wait until I have enough extra money saved up for this stuff.
