They go on the end of the tie rod where it screws into the rack.

Hey Will,
Which tie rod kit did you get? You'd do a great many of us a great service if you could document the entire process. I'd buy you a beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) or two (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

They look like this?
(IMG:http://oxblue.com/bm/bump.jpg) If so, they go in between the rack and the body. EDIT: sorry, maybe not. I was thinking about the bump steer kit. If they came w/the tie rods, they probably go on the tie rods: http://weltmeister.com/productslist.aspx?C...=31&selection=7 -Bryan |

Ok, over turn washers make sense
This will all be part on progress thread. I would love to contribute a piece for the team. Tie rods is one. Drilling for swaybar is one too! BTW - have bump steer kit on order too. (only item that has not come) |

Mine went in the "big effin' washer " storage bin.
They are to keep the threaded end of the tierod from bottoming out in the rack. Apparently some need them & some don't. |

Good to see we have consensus on this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I'll let you know if I figure it out before you all stop arguing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
