Learn how to get more steering angle so your car can make sharper turns by removing rack limiters in the steering rack. That way you can make a U turn instead of a K turn. This works for cars that have steering rack limiters (spacers) and can be quick and easy to do.

I am going to post some short videos on Instagram (@ChrisFixit) answering some questions like if I was able to make a U-turn instead of a K-turn now. Also I am almost at 100k followers on Instagram so be sure to follow! Once I hit 100k I am doing a giveaway of ChrisFix swag with 7,000 winners!!!
I know this video it old but you should do a video of you trying to do this to your mazda b3000
Anyone know if this kind of mod can be achieved with a 2021 Honda accord touring? I blew the prices could be different, but wanted to know if it was possible
you should probably also check for clearance while the suspension is both compressed and uncompressed, because the parts move. it should never touch.
the caster angle would have made your measured angle completely worthless. but otherwise was a pretty ingenious idea
30 degrees on the left wheel when turning to the right, and 25 degrees when turning to the left… how is this possible?! Shouldn't the turning angle of the wheel be more, like 35-40 degrees when turning to the left, because the radius of curvature of the inner wheel is obviously less than the outer wheels? What kind of upside-down Ackerman steering mechanism is in the Foxbody (correction: SN95) Mustang?
holy how was this 6 years ago this video is so well made its insane
Thanks a lot for the informative video! Almost tempted to do it on my own, even tho I really don't have any experience. Well done!
Any issues removing the limiters???
Do I need spacers for the back now 😮
Do you edit your own videos
Does this only apply for rwd?
Where is the wheel spacer video @chris?
Any idea, if this can be done for Suzuki Jimny
Hi Chris. Can you make a video on wheel alignment (toe, camber)?
Ok nice, but is there a reason why they are not both even from the factory? Why is one side 5 degrees higher?
My grandmother has a honda oddessey and I tis the u turn god
there is no need for that just drift it 😈😈😈😈😈😈
Great video man! Do you know if Dodge Charger 2010 (2006-2010 model) has that limiter?
Yo someone pls reply. Does this work on facelift Honda civic type r ep3s (04-05)?
This is really cool, not gonna lie but have you had any issues with oversteer?
😂😂😂😂😅😮
Would this work on cars that are all wheel drive or on cars that have electric power steering? Or on cars that have both?
Noooooo, those spacers are there for a reason ( in some cars can be dangerous to remove them) the steering rack and the tie rods have their own geometry and can get stuck without the spacers. Also in some steering racks the pinion can get stuck when it runs out of teets in the rack and the spacers prevent it from that. Make shure you get a decent angle kit for that kind of needs
Everything would be fine, but now your front wheels are wider than your rear ones, and that hurt my eyes, Can it be fixed somehow?
Man I wish I knew about this back when I had my 04 Volvo S60. I loved that car, it had an amazing interior and probably still the most comfortable seats I've ever sat it. That was a great vehicle, but wow the turn radius for a semi sporty looking sedan was atrocious. I have no idea how they made it that bad, but having to make 3 point turns constantly when driving in hectic downtown traffic was not fun.
But I have to say, those are really nice cars outside of that. Especially if you get a turbo'd AWD variant with a manual. I bought some nice leather barstools off Craigslist one time from a mechanic who worked on a lot of Volvo's. He was telling me about how much metal they have in the frame of the car. He was saying he had never seen one roll through the shop with the frame bent around the cab significantly bent inwards. Meaning even in a crazy crash, they will keep anything in the cabin from collapsing. But yeah, awful awful turn radius lmao.
hello my friend
I had a problem with my 2009 corolla steering turns more left than right, on Steering wheel turns : 2 & 1/2 on left and 1 & 1/2 on right side.
Now I what to do
