SPL Mazda NB Miata Tie Rod End Kit - Bumpsteer Adjustable (Power Steering Rack)
The SPL Mazda NB Miata Tie Rod End Kit - Bumpsteer Adjustable (Power Steering Rack) is designed for Miata owners looking to enhance handling and precision by minimizing bumpsteer during cornering and over rough terrain.
Key Features:
- Bumpsteer Adjustment: Allows the tie rod end pivot to be relocated with spacers, minimizing dynamic toe changes (bumpsteer) as the suspension compresses during cornering or over uneven surfaces, leading to more predictable handling.
- New Inner Tie Rods and Steering Rack Spacers: Includes stainless steel steering rack spacers that increase steering angle, especially beneficial for drift applications.
Benefits:
- Bumpsteer Correction results in smoother, more predictable handling.
- Lightweight Design: Weighs only 2.30 lbs (1.04 kg) per side, including spacers, for optimized performance.
- Enhanced Stability and Reduced Tire Wear: By reducing front tire toe changes, the kit helps prevent uneven tire shoulder wear and offers better stability over track curbing and rough roads.
- Maintenance-Free: Features US-made PTFE-lined FK Bearings for long-lasting, self-cleaning performance.
Materials:
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Turnbuckle for strength and durability.
- 304 Stainless Steel Steering Rack Spacer for corrosion resistance and improved steering angle.
- 4140 Chromoly Steel Tapered Stud for toughness.
- 304 Stainless Steel 1/8" and 1/4" Spacers for precise adjustments.
- Anodized Titanium Hardware for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
- FK PTFE-Lined Spherical Bearings (US-made, self-cleaning) for smooth, reliable operation.
This kit is ideal for NB Miata owners with power steering racks, offering bumpsteer correction and precision handling for both road and track use, with added benefits for drift enthusiasts.
Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)
The SPL tie rod ends are not a significant contributor to NVH. They improve the driving experience by reducing bumpsteer on uncorrected cars.
