When I bought my car I found that it has the turbo tie rod kit installed but does not have the spacers. Does anyone have a measurement of these spacers and maybe a picture of them? I think I have the spacers off of my old car but I can't be sure until I get a good idea of what thickness and size that is suppose to be there.
Thanks in advance |

They all need the spacers, even the 911's. Rich is right, if you don't use the spacers you end up with tie rods that in effect aren't long enough and you need to compensate by leaving too few threads screwed into the outer rod end. Less than about 6 or 7 threads and it may break. If you change your camber down the road and have it aligned the alignment dude probably won't take it apart to see how many threads there are in the rod end and maybe leave you with 2 threads and your car will turn into a plow on the way home.
