Its pretty easy actually. Pull the tire, pop the tierod off the spindle, measure it really good, then remove it, and install the new parts using the same measurements. You should get an alignment soon after. That will ensure everything is properly aligned.

Hardest part is to put the spacers on while your car is on a flat surface. The weight has to be on the suspension. Then just change the spacers till the body of the rods is level with the a-arm. Your steering wheel will be 10X more responsive to minor adjustments............

PICS - I love a chance to whore pics of my ride.....

BEFORE INSTALL


AFTER INSTALL - Not level with a-arm yet


AFTER INSTALL - Level with A-Arm

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, you will probably have to cut the bottom half of your dust shields off your spindle. Sucks, but not hard to do.

Its a little involved. Not hard though. I did notice a huge difference in steering. It is not really needed unless you have excessive bumpsteer. When your car follows the bumps in the road, thats when you have the problem. You would know if that was happening. Your steering wheel would turn in odd directions over bumps.

I didn't need it, but I did need new tie rod ends, and I got a great deal on the kit when I bought my X2s, so why not..............

It replaces the tie rod ends. It is just a set of highly adjustable tie rod ends basically. The kit lets you reset the geometry of you steering after a significant front suspension drop. That keeps the bumps in the road from controlling your vehicle.........
