THIS KIT CURRENTLY REQUIRES DRILLING OUT YOUR CARS TIE ROD END HOLE ON THE SPINDLE!!!
This Honda/Acura Tie Rod bump-steer Adjuster kit is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their race cars steering and suspension. With its adjustable features, it's perfect for those who want to correct their bump steer.
Alignment settings with high castor and camber values create steering geometry that induces toe-in of the front wheels as the suspension compresses. This is what is commonly referred to as bump-steer, This is a bad thing because it reduces grip. I have developed this adjustable tie rod kit to solve this problem. This kit is designed to allow the height of tie rod end to be adjusted to correct for the drop in height caused by inclining the knuckle for greater camber and castor
Our tie rod kit can be used to correct the steering geometry of streetcars, circle track, road racing, track day cars, time attack and any other racing cars.

Tie Rod Kit Installation Instructions - EF and ED Civic and CR-X
1. Jack up car and support vehicle with jack stands
2. Remove lug nuts and wheel
3. Remove the split pin from oem tie rod end
4. Loosen and remove OEM tie rod castle nut with 17mm socket. Loosen the inner jam nut on the inner rack end.
5. Remove OEM tie rod end from the suspension knuckle with suitable tie rod end puller, and unthread tie rod from inner rack end. ​Mark the location of the OEM tie rod end or count the number of exposed threads so that the new tie rod end can be installed in the same location to minimise the effect on your wheel alignment.
6. Assembly the scallop tube tie rod end by threading the 1⁄2” jam nut provided onto each rod end, then threading the rod end into the turnbuckle.
7. Tighten 1⁄2”-20 jam nuts on the tie rod to 60Nm (40lbf.ft).
8. Install turnbuckle-rod end assembly to inner rack end and tighten jam nut on inner rack end.
9. Drill out as squarely as possible the tie rod end hole in the spindle to 5/8”. (I highly Recommend you to remove the entire spindle and drill out in a drill press)
10. Add supplied 5/8”od to 1/2”id sleeve to the tierod end hole you just drilled.
11. Add the necessary amount of 1/2” grade 8 washers above your 5/8” hole on the spindle to get the correct amount of bump steer you desire. (This step you will need to measure and add or remove washers accordingly)
12. Take a 1/2” grade 8 bolt of necessary length and sandwich the rod end with 2 of your 4 supplied rod end spacers (1 above and 1 below the rod end on each side of the car so it can pivot)
13. Continue on putting your bolt through the washers and then through the spindle and add a washer below the spindle arm and then tighten using a crimp nut, nylon lock nut or double nutting your bolt. (Check very regularly that nothing has loosened up)
14. Perform bump steer measurement to determine correct spacer configuration.
15. Refit the wheel and tighten lug nuts
16. Cycle the steering from left to right and check clearance between the wheel and the tie rod end.
17. Repeat the same steps for the other side of the car.
Now that you have successfully installed this tie rod end kit to your vehicle it is critical that you take the car to get a wheel alignment as soon as possible. ​Note that these components are intended for race use only, and will require regular and frequent inspection and maintenance if necessary.
