Paging Madman: Manual Rack Issue
Paging Madman: Manual Rack Issue Brian,
I didn't see you in the sponsor list to find your contact information so I'll give this a shot.
I recently installed your manual rack on my 99 Camaro and had the car aligned afterward per your specs.
I was informed that the rack isn't perfectly parallel to the K member due to it being welded incorrectly.
Also, they said there were some issues getting the toe right under load and off of load due to the tie rod end spacers being too long.
They said I need shorter versions in order to fix this problem.
Are you aware of this and have you heard of it before?
If this is common, I'll need those shorter spacers where the tie rods connect.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Feel free to call me at 877-516-7223. I havent had anyone complain about the bumpsteer kit not allowing for the proper alignment. You probably need to call and explain a little better so we can get this fixed.

I'm not very knowledgable with alignments so I may have them call you after we talk.
Thanks.

PSJ: Thanks, but they were telling me that it wasn't parallel to the k member, which is very important.

Here is what he is talking about... The rack is not perfectly parallel to the k- member. I noticed this but wasnt sure if this was a problem or not
I installed madmans rack a few weeks ago but my motor wont be going in for a few more weeks so I havent taken mine in to have it aligned yet. Let me know what you guys figure out. Thanks

I had the same issue months back. I noticed it before installing it. Madman kindly took it back and sent a new one. Looks like its an issue with the jig even though he said he checked that...
There was an issue with the JIG. My move from Texas tweaked the jig. That problem has been remedied. If you have a question about your rack all you have to do is call. I am very easy to get ahold of.

Brian: I hope I don't have to replace the rack.
I'm going to call Madman tomorrow as I've been very busy at work.
Thanks guys.

Madman is speaking with my alignment shop to resolve the issues.
He's been very helpful so far and I hope we can get things resolved.

I might have to just "Roll" with the problem. It doesn't seem to drive that bad, but I'm sure it will eat up DS2s like nobody's business.
