    Tie Rod end help.

    Hey everyone.

    I bought a set of BuddyClub RSDs about 4 weeks ago.
    however i did bought the EP3R ones..
    Now I have spaced the rear bushings out with washes to fill the gap (not issues) and was also given brand new 'aftermarket' tie rod ends so i could fit the fronts. These are a similar length to the DC5 ones.

    After fitting the fronts at a reasonable height I got a mate to adjust the toe.
    Now it looks like we are already running low on threads for the tie rod ends and its not at the height i want. The lower we go the more threads we will loose.

    Quick fix????

    Should i purchase some OEM EP3R tie rod ends? (are they longer thread then DC5?)
    Get Inverted?? (if so what brand)
    Replace the rod itself with something like this? http://www.dvrace.com/tierods.html

    Any info will be a great help.

    Cheers

    should get the todds tie rods, it has a lot more toe adjustability compared to oem tie rods.

            What's your camber setting like? Adding more negative camber may solve your problem.

                Not sure, cars sitting in garage and hasn't had wheel alignment. wanted to get this solved first..
                Gunna have a look tomorrow. drop it down to the height i want and maxx out the front camber. Might give me some more threads.

                  try using camber bolts

                  you can add camber without the need to having aftermarket tie rods
