Alright, so this is how I swapped the superstrut tie rods onto my AT200 rack and pinion. We didnt swap it on the another Celica and we snapped the linkage in half so we found out the reason for the C curve the hard way. Here you go. Suggestions and questions welcome.
Compare  Dissasemble  They are the same   Pry the gold back then use a set of pliers and a 19mm to separate the inner rod from the rack and pinion  Separated  Difference is minor, an alignment should fix any discrepancies  Attatch  Attatched    Attatch Boot  Done, rinse and repeat for the other side.  any thoughts are welcome, I havent driven the car yet but ill post again to update with problems if any arise.

The important thing is what are they made of? My friend said the same thing to me and initially i used the st sway bar for same reason. I can honestly say, the gt4 feels stronger and more stiff after all gt4 had higher quality parts unless im confused. If your not talking about its strength then disregard this post lol |
