relocate the tie-rods to the bottom of the spindle arms.
Pricing is not yet set in stone, but I figure that the it'd come to around
$20 or so. On top of that, you'll have to remove your hub assemblies so that
the arms can be drilled out and the bushings can be inserted. Anybody want
to step up and try this out?
For some pictures of exactly what I'm talking about, check out this webpage:
Let me be clear, though. Right now, we're only discussing the bushings to
relocate the tie-rods. -not the spacers to move the a-arms down. Also, this
particular guy's spacers are absolutely *not* safe. The sharp "steps" on his
parts are crack prone. In fact, the fellow emailed me and told me that one
of his spacers did snap!
Anyway, if anybody is interested, just let me know. However, I'd rather put
these in the hands of the motorsports type guys first.
Thanks,
