Something about adding or removing a washer near the tie rods.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

[E30_fiend]

so whats the deal with all the neo gens? Do you like them or do you run them because they're cheap? I love those tires honestly. I just wanted to know your reasoning behind running them.

correct you add washers to where you screw the inner tie rod into the rack. from the factory the rack has a little ways to go before it "bottoms out" against the internal stops they hit the tie rods first.
