I just installed the turbo tie rods and did not install the washer that came with the kit that goes between the tie rod and the steering rack - are these needed?
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) That's what I was afraid of!! They were a bitch to tighten and they will be impossible when I install the washer. |
