Manual Rack SN-95 control arms.

[facemelter71]

I have installed SN-95 tubed control arms on my coupe.Now that the tire sits right,my damn Tie rod ends are to short to reach to the spindle.It leaves me with about 2 threads into the tie rod.Which is not near enough.

I still have the fox spindle and brakes up front since I dont have anything for SN brake conversion.All I have is the SN spindles,still need brake calipers and everything.

Are the SN Tie rods longer,are those the ones I need to switch to?

I have the Flaming River Manual rack standard Ratio.Any one ran into this problem.

enter tie rods on a fox are shorter by 1inch than sn

Call Flaming River.I bought +1inch over outer tie rods for my sn95 when I installed a fox body Manual Rack..Worked Great.....:D

Yeah all you need to do is just put sn95 inner tie rods on. I had the opposite problem. My car has an sn95 rack with fox inner tie rods because I wanted my wheels tucked in a little bit.

Which steering shaft did you go with? I know you can get all the stuff from flaming river to make it work but when I called them the price was way more than I was going to spend. I think it was almost twice as much as a fox steering shaft.

I called FLaming River and talked to the tech department.They have SN replacement inner tie rods that will bolt onto my Fox rack.

couldn't the ends just thread on further on the rack?

[AntiRice427]

No because I have fox length A arms on it. I had both ends cranked all the way in and both wheels were way out.

Didn't buy the complete shaft just the coupler which was 108.00 or so?You have to cut the rag joint off and it fit the u-joint coupler over the D-shaft.Then it bolts right up to the rack...

Basically I Bought a Flaming Fox rack off ebay brand new in box for 135.00 to my door then bought the coupler 108?. then the + 1 over OUTER tie rods for 24.00 apiece and done...roughly alittle over 300 where the complete kit is almost 500.00...

great, looks like a problem I'm going to run into, wonder if I could just shorten the rack arms themselves.

I want to say You can cut the inner tie rods to the correct length.I believe they are threaded down enough,its just the threads bottom out in the outter tie rod.So if you cut some off it might work.Or I could be completely wrong.
