TRZ Motorsports Universal Tie-Rod / Bump Steer Kit for Rack and Pinion - Length: 2.625 (2.375 - 3.625) - 202-263
Universal Bump Steer & Tie-Rod Adjuster Kit for Rack-and-Pinion Systems
The TRZ Motorsports Universal Tie-Rod / Bump Steer Kit is designed to replace non-adjustable tie-rod ends and give you the ability to precisely dial in steering geometry - a must for serious race cars and custom chassis builds. With an adjustable length range of 2.375? to 3.625?, this kit ensures your steering setup stays stable and bump steer is minimized when properly dialed in.
Each kit includes high-strength chrome-moly rod ends, Grade 8 hardware, and precision-machined 6061 aluminum spacers. Installation requires drilling the stock spindle or steering arm's tapered hole to 1/2? so the hardware can seat correctly. Designed for use with both standard and narrowed Pinto rack-and-pinion systems using 1/2-20 threads.
TRZ outlines a simple method for determining the correct adjuster length by measuring your suspension's A-Dimension. If your required length exceeds 7?, you will need the optional Universal Weld-Up Kit, which includes 4130 tubing and RH/LH inserts for custom sizing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to modify my spindle to use this kit?
Yes. The spindle or steering arm tapered hole must be drilled to 1/2? to accept the supplied hardware.
