I installed a tubular k member, coil overs, tubular lower control arms, and a manual Flaming River steering rack in my 93 LX last weekend. The problem that I have encountered is that the front wheels are toed in like fucking crazy, and I only have about 1/2" of thread remaining in each tie rod. The manual rack was in this car when I bought it, with no problems, and I think it has the longer required outer tie rods on it already (they're about 6.5" OAL). Tonight I measured the old control arms and found them to be close to 2" fucking shorter than my tubular ones? WTF?? If I remember correctly, the 94+ will bolt up, but are longer. I don't care if it pushes my skinnies out a bit, and it does, but this is a major problem. I know I can fabricate something to make it safely work, but was interested to know if this problem sounds familiar to any one? Any suggestions?????
Ok, I helped myself. I was able to contact Maximum Motorsports in CA last night-good people!! They knew what I was talking about, and apparently SN95 control arms on a Fox are common. Anyway, without getting into the details of why, I ordered a kit from them which allows for the 1" longer SN95 control arms. Yes, it was $150.00, but whatcha gonna do????
I thank myself for the suggestion, and for pulling my own head out of my ass and researching it!!
Bout time ya stiff, one less hurdle to clear. I had MM parts on my Silver hatchback back in the mid 90's. Strut tower brace, lower k frame brace. Stuff was QUALITY.
