Probly a stupid question but if I'm replacing left outer, connecting sleeve, and left inner tie rod ends can I just take the whole assembly out, match the length with the new parts, and install the new one back in? Or is there a certain order it has to be done in? Wanna make sure I don't screw up steering components.

I pushed the Rev limiter a little higher so I can move the shift points higher as well. Also cleaned up the idle rpms, spark, fuel, and some other stuff. Will put that tune on Sunday.

That's what I did since the new tre's were different lengths than my old ones. Once you get it in, look at the tires and if they aren't straight just play with the sleeve. You'll need to get an alignment anyway so just get it as best as you can.

Sounds good. The V10s usually sound real good at idle, but once you lay into it they sound like ****. Yours sounds pretty good.

The trick is to use an x or h pipe. Otherwise duals sound like a loud 5 cylinder.

Did you feel a noticeable difference in the steering with the new ones?

I'll get a better clip after I find out what's making that winding noise. Maybe alternator or a pulley or that oil cleaner thing lol
