I got my old rack off yesterday and I went to transfer my Steeda bumpsteer kit over to my Flaming River power rack and the threading on the inner tie rods is different. Do Flaming River racks use a different thread size on the inner tie rods or did the previous owner of the rack switch them out?

Thanks

i ran into this same problem when i put my flaming river manual rack in. i ended up calling maximum motorsports and they set me up with the right parts. i ended up selling the steeda kit.

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking at some of your old pic threads trying to see what rod ends you were using since I knew you switched to the FR rack. I'll call MM tomorrow, I need to talk to them about spring rates anyway.

Just for anyone who switches to a FR rack whether it be manual or power, they all use a 9/16 - 18 thread inner tie rod. In 94', the stock Mustang inner rod ends switched over to metric. So anyone with a FR rack needs to run pre-94 outer tie rod ends...Fox body style.
