Ohh so it does require the stops to be grinded down. Can it be done while on the car or do you have to take the knuckle off.

Stops are on the LCA's. Can be done on the car.

There will be a DIY guide somewhere on how to do the job.

I put the spacers in but its not even hitting the stop on either side. It doesnt look to me like anything has changed. Abit puzzled at the moment cant work it out. here are some pics.

I did a test, I disconnected the tie rods from hubs and checked to see if the spacer is going all the way into the rack and its not . I dont understand what is stopping it, surely the rack cannot be at its limits am I missing something here?

Here is a pic of it at full lock with with tie rods free attached to nuthing.

how it looks with spacer

I also measured the diameter of the spacer to make sure it is fitting in and yes it is slightly smaller than the shaft so it will go in no problem. This is so frustrating whats so different about my situation that it doenst work.

Another update I took off the rods completey to physically measure how much room there is inside the rack at full lock and I found it to be between 2.5-3mm so thats why I have the problem but now I want to know why since everyone else is putting spacers and there rack is not restricted to 2.5-3mm is there something else that must be done in order to make the rack go further? Im really stumped now after putting together and taking it apart 50times this weekend.
