I installed Turbo Tie-rods and a bumpsteer kit.

(Footnote: Why is it that I take on projects in a carport when it's 110F outside?)

Bumpsteer spacer it: AMAZING!! I was driving around after the install looking for bumps mid corner to hit and I couldn't make the steering wheel jump. I didn't know what I was missing since the car has been lowered and had lots of bumpsteer. Great, cheapo upgrade.

Turbo Tie-Rods: I don't know if they put a special Stuttgart locktite on the threads of the inner tierods, but I've never had such a hard time unthreading a set from a steering column. Picture: Lots of cussing and using EVERY bit of strength to move it a quarter turn at a time before resetting the big wrench. What a ***** that was. The new ones threaded right in easily. (Blue locktite used)

So glad that's done. Time for an alignment.
