    Default Stepped spacers, 7/16"

    Our guru, at the last minute, wanted to change our short top rod (bg Rocket), to the standard one which we didnt have. He went and borrowed one from a team that runs xr1's. After about 30 mins of thrashing, we pulled it back out and realized the spacers were 7/16" id. It was brand new and still in its packaging. Is this standard for an xr1?

    If i understand correctly your talking about the spacers for the four bar. They are 1/2" typically

    Yep, i guess Rocket sent the wrong spacers as they were still wrapped up in their packaging installed on the new trailing arm!

    Sounds like you ended up with a lf tie rod assembly
