Hard race inverted tie rod end installation EP3 ctr problems

[eg4breeze]

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of installing hard race inverted tie rod ends in my EP3 and I'm having a problem lining the bolt up with the tie rod. Has anyone ran into a problem like this before? I've also noticed that the tie rod doesn't swivel like the OEM hence why I'm having the lining up problem!

Any help or advice is much needed!!

Thanks in advance!

that sounds unusual of not lining up, are they the right tie rods for the ep3??

it doesn't swivel because it's still stiff.

you wouldn't want loose BNIB tie rods...

Thanks for the reply guys! As it turned out the bearings were still stiff, silly me. I thought they were designed like that to use with aftermarket tie rods.
