Tie Rod install question.
The turbo tie rods come with 2 gold washers. What are they used for? I'm assuming they are used as spacers on the inner side of the tire rod. But why would I want to use them? The turbo tie rods seem to be the same length as the stock rods without the washers.

good question. but that's where they're supposed to go. perhaps the threaded hole in the rack isn't deep enough without them. i've always used them, so i would imagine they're there for a reason.

Threaded hole on rack is not deep enough. Tie rod will seem tight but will work loose in time without the washers being installed. Also I used red locktight on threads of the tie rods.
