looks like alot of stress on the heim and I even rearanged the spacers so that the bigger one is on top what can I do? tighten everything up and leave it like this? These were supposed to fix the bumpsteer :rant2:

does it fix itself when you drop the car?

That does look pretty extreme.
What chassis inner rods do you have? And what chassis ends do you have?

Did you get an alignment and are they perfect? Looks like its way too short.

yeah, it just looks like you need to make the end come out more, and you might want to put the spacers back to the way you had them (bigger one on the bottom) and just raise your car a bit more to reduce bumpsteer. i had my spacers like that and it bent because of the added stress.

not really the car is so stiff it doesnt really settle when you drop it.

car is a s13 with s14 tein inners using the spacer. s14 kazama outers
Did you get an alignment and are they perfect? Looks like its way too short.
I had an alignment not too long ago before I put these on, I just measured the moog ones I had and did these the same length. Also if I try to make them longer it binds up cause see the angle of the mounting point on the spindle?

I cant make them come out more on the second pic look at the angle of the spindle. And I cant raise it its against my religion :D

Correct me if Im wrong, but if you use S14 inner rods arent you supposed to use S13 ends? Forgive me but I dont feel like searching.

Nope,the threads are different and the s14 inners have a bigger diameter.

It just looks like you need to lengthen the tie rod and go get an alignment. What does your toe look like with it like that? I bet it's mad toed in.
