Hi all.
Sorry this is a bit long winded.
I've put a rmd 2.4 h/d rack in my car with eccentric top mounts and adj tca's.
Set up as wide as they can go with wheels parallel and zero camber the rack ends only go in the tre's about 8 turns now which I don't feel is enough. I bought the shortest rack extenders which are now making the wheels toe out by a long way even on the shortest adjustment.
I suppose I could run a bit more thread up the steering arm and cut a bit off the end.
I heard somewhere that there are longer track rod ends for sale which I've now found but I was digging around the technical section and came across an old thread about a rack being too long.
It turns out that this guy had bought the same rack and he discovered that the steering arm pivot points are wider apart than the inner tca pivot points.
I measured my std rack pivots and as near as damn it they match my tca centres.
Can anybody tell me what problems (if any) I will have if I use this rmd rack?
This guy ended up buying a kiley Clinton rack which he
says has the pivots the same as the tca's.
Is it worth the extra money for this one and move on the rmd version? (The car won't be used for anything competitive)
Also what's the benefits/pitfalls of going for the tapered pins and rose joints instead of tre's?
Thanks.
