Can anyone measure the rack travel on one end lock to lock for me??
Even tie rod end travel from lock to lock will be close enough
Thanks, Mike

Now would be a great time for me to do that for you because it is up on the lift. Only issue is my lift is at my shop a couple miles from home and I am at home. I'll try to remember to do it as soon as I get there but that may be 10:00 as I have got a delivery to make by 6:15 this morning.

Boy, the service around here sucks....

Well, as usual I am late! LOL
Measuring this was not what I envisioned at all. And if I had to bet on the distance I would have lost all my money.
Best I can figure there is only about 2 7/8 to 3" travel from lock to lock. I measured from the bolt that goes through the tie rod end to the frame directly below the where the rod enters the rack.
And yes I know my pictures suck but it was a pita to hold the tape and hold the phone and mash the button, you get the idea!

Thanks Ghost, that is good enough for me to do some checking on a custom ratio rack.
Appreciate it

Hey @Ghost
Is your Slingshot still on the hoist???
I need front A arm chassis mounting measurements...
Lower A arm front inner bushing vertical dimension to Upper A arm inner front bushing. Center to center, or bottom to bottom etc.
Also:
Lower A arm rear inner bushing vertical dimension to Upper A arm rear inner bushing, again center to center, or bottom to bottom etc.
I also need a rough angle of the front wheel / tire when turned to lock in both directions, either side will work.
Just close will do, don't need pics

Yep, still on the rack. When I get to the shop tomorrow I will attempt to get the measurements for you.

Front vertical measurement is roughly 10 1/2"
Rear is roughly 9 1/8" This one is a little more tricky to measure as the top bushing is not parallel to the bottom one.
I'm not sure which angle you want? The vertical angle of the tire/wheel in reference to the floor or the horizontal angle in reference to the centerline of the SS?
I don't mean to make this harder than it needs to be but I assume whatever you are doing it is important to you and I do not want to give you bad information.

No problem. I am away from the shop for a while but I'll getcha some info in a little while.
