For what it's worth when I replaced my tie rod, the new one came with a flat rubber bushing to be the spacer where the drag link connects. It's not the same as what was built here, but the principal works similar. The dead spot roll over disappeared, so I would assume the FIX will accomplish the same.

@IDIoit it's always the fault of the middle man.

This is not the FIX, it is the CURE... RW would not appreciate you renaming :fan:

I’m running the ruff stuff spacer with Chevy TRE custom steering. Mine has play in it still because the spacer has play in it. I called ruff stuff and they think that the hole in the tie rod is not reamed deep enough causing the spacer not to fit. I need to get it pulled apart and measure so they can send me a fixed part. I’ll report back and see if it really is “the fix”

It’s a new box from rock auto, I can’t remember the brand. Not quite sure what that has to do with “the cure”
