Whether it is installing new wider wheels, tires, brake ducts, shocks, or springs, there could be a rubbing issue on the inside of your fender well. Our rack stops will help protect your investment. Rack stops are spacers that install inside of the tie rod and limits the amount of steering travel. You can save the costs of replacing rubbing tires, worn out brake ducts, cut shock reservoir hoses, and broken underside plastic panels. There is also the added benefit of knowing you can turn the steering wheel to full lock and not be worried that the wheels will rub. Our rack stop length is the approximate length that will be removed from the outside tire wall�s path. For example, if a 16mm rack stop is used, there will be 16mm more clearance for a brake duct between the fender well and the edge of the tire. Included with this kit: 2 Delrin rack stops, 1 black (driver�s side), 1 white (passenger�s side), 2 Locking plates (only needed on E36), 4 zip ties, detailed instructions.

Get rid of the rubber coupler and go all out with Condor's lightweight Chrome Moly Low-Profile, Needle Bearing Universal Joint. This Universal Joint has a reduced diameter for applications where clearance and weight are primary concerns. The stock rubber steering coupler is known to degrade over time, resulting in a vague and disconnected steering feeling. You'll immediately notice an increase in precision and get sharper steering response. Simplify the steering shaft in your e46 using Condor's bolt-in u-joint. Fitment: E46 - 323Ci, 323i, 325Ci, 325i, 328Ci, 328i, 330Ci, 330i & M3. *This is a performance part and should be installed by a professional. For race use only. Inspect before each race weekend.
