Issues with SPL Bumpsteer Adjustable Tie Rod Ends

Ok Guys. I just installed the part listed below:

https://www.splparts.com/products/ca...-rod-ends.html

The issue with this part is is regards to clearance with the inside barrel of the wheel.

On my 19 inch APEX wheels, I had to take two of the spacers out so that the tie rod nut and threaded bolt WOULD NOT not make contact with the inside barrel of the wheel.

On my 18 inch APEX wheels, even with those two small spacers removed, it will be necessary to run a THINNER nut and to cut some of the threads off the bolt to allow for proper clearance.

I will update this thread with PICS once we do that. SPL PARTS is aware of the problem and they sent me a Center Lock nut that was .2 of an inch THINNER than the Nylon Lock nut that comes standard with this part. I will use this nut and then cut off a few threads off the end of the bolt.

Pics to follow in next few days.

Obviously the whole purpose of using this part is so that the TOE IN and TOE OUT setting will NOT change due to suspension travel.
