WE ADD ANGLE TO MY BEATER CAR!

- Since the beginning of time people have been adding angle to drift cars. A tie rod redesign is one of the simplest way to do it. Since no one had done it, I went ahead and designed one! Over the last year we have been testing and spec'ing this inner tie rod and I am ready to share my design with you guys. It adds around 25% more angle (9ish degrees added to the stock 36) is much stronger than OE e36 tie rods, and has an insanely durable liner that is inside a larger ball joint socket. This tie rod adds angle by having a spacer machined into the bulkhead. This allows your rack to travel further. So many e30, 36, 46, z4, z3, etc already have failed tie rods with play, replace yours with these much more durable units.
Right now they are available at DriftHQ, hit them up to snag a pair.

Your my idle Chelsea don’t ever stop being you.
😂 Idol is someone that inspires you. Idle is to spend time doing nothing
Chelsea is 🐐🐐
Only thing I would suggest is before installing the drift tie rods into the rod ends, start screwing the tie rod into the rack. Then back it out while lightly pulling until you find where the thread starts. Mark this point on the knuckle and outer casting of the rack, doesn't have to be accurate. Unscrew the tie rod completely and carry on with putting it into the rod end. It should be a bit easier to start into the rack knowing roughly where the threads want to meet.
Out of all the "how to" car videos on youtube there really still aren't enough like this. Simple explanations and easy tips! Also showing people alignments don't always have to cost $150.
I was just wondering yesterday why you haven't posted. Welcome back!
Pumped to see you developing products like these. Great work!
I got something super similar on my FRS and it really opened it up, love it!
Hell yeah man I just bought a set, I been needing to refresh the steering on my e46 so this will be a great start.
Back in the game! Show us the Foxbody update.
Nice to see you back.
Totally buying these when mine get worn out again!!!
Hell yea love your videos!
Super cool man.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
These are fantastic i wonder if I can apply the same concept to my audi 🤔
Chelsea your the 🐐
Yeess a new video.
your wife spilling the marker was hilarious
Are these coming back in stock? I want some for my e36 convertible to pair with some e46 lower arms. Thanks for inspiring me to build my own drift car
Curious how much clearance you gave to give the rack more room to move. Drift HQ hasn't had these in stock for over a year now and I'd like to try and replicate this with some e90 inners. Don't want to give it too much and not have the inners act as stops.
Hello Chelsea, I bought a set of your tie rods, but after just months of use, I got play in one of them. I don't know if I was just unlucky and got a defective one, but just one of the two tie rods feels loose now. I have no idea if I can do some sort of warranty, I'd like if you can help me to sort this. For now I will just buy a new set of them. Thanks in advance!
Looking into buying these for my E36 but I currently have e46 control arms with angle adapters so I'm running stock inner tie rod. If I use these and get rid of the angle adapter will I lose alot of angle?
Nice
Will these tie rods work on the BMW E90? I am looking for a really cheap option to get some more steering angle in my E90
Your Dog is Dominating you.
Wonder if this will work on an e46 too 🤔🤔🤔
2023 FD ''Prospec'' build how to. Just needs a dogbox
Are these still being made? I love the set on my 318ti and want more for my e46
Hey i am new to the Chanel cant you do the back suspension for 318ti
dont care for the tie rods.... i NEED to know where to find that zip tie tool
Haha. Amazon zip tie gun!
@@chelseadenofa Thank you! Did not know that was a thing...
when will these be back in stock? i was about to pull the trigger on e46 arms w/ condor bushings and that adaptor block, but these seem a lot better and not sketchy
I got some back in stock. Drift HQ will be shipping orders this week
Guess who's back
Will there be more angle with lock adapters or is it going to be about the same with out those?
both would be good
Could this be paired with e46 control arms?
What is the thickness of the spacer section exactly? Is it 4mm like on most BMW rack spacers? I've heard the steering rack seals don't really like more than that.
They are just a tick over 4mm at 4.4. I feel like they are safer for the seals because they stay squared up. Been using these on 8 of my school cars for about a year without and issues
@@chelseadenofa Thank you very much for the answer!
Genuinely curious what makes the aluminum hub plates sketchy? Are they not very similar to the primary component responsible for adding angle in the SLR kit?
SLR kits have proper 7075 aluminum, use proper machined ball joints and spacers, and the hardware is spec’d properly for the usage.
The angle adaptors from a lot of suppliers use a shitty m12 wheel lug nut stud as a pickup point, stock outer tie rod taper straight into aluminum, and the block is made out of chinesium. Not to mention they have zero or negative Ackerman AND some even move the knuckle outward creating massive leverage point and ruined geometry,
Do they add angle... of course. Will they make drifting easier because they add angle... of course. But they are sketchy AF
would like to know this as well. ran an ebay setup on my car for 1 week before I took it back off. When I got my SLR kit I was surprised to see the same type of part included, but the location of the holes different. drives amazing
@@chelseadenofa exactly that! People who are starting (as me for 3 years) are thinking that drift is all about more angle. L's ofcourse are adding angle but often ruining overall handling! I Say not always for purpose, cause they are even not manufactured thru whole world the same 😂 and they snap very often cause are made from cheese.. I'm in love With Compact as you are! Is this an IS or even 1.6? 🙂
Just got a set for my E30 Touring! Do you recommend a centered or offset FCAB with stock control arms?
Depends on the year arms and knuckles used. But best to keep what it came with IMO.
@@chelseadenofa thanks, and good luck this weekend! Bringing my son to E-Town for the first time.
Will this work with E46 CA?
Fucking science 🔥
I already have the e46 lowers installed on my car with the ebay angle kit, could I use the e46 arms and this on an e36. I want to find a way to keep angle and remove the eBay kit. Thanks!
Should be able to. Depends on caster and camber.
I miss the say howdy get rowdy series
I'm guessing that they work the same as steering rack spacers, but just stronger?
Yea, they are machined onto the tie rod. And these are much stronger. Same theory tho!
We had in our E36 this 4mm Rack Spacers, but the Spacers killed our steering rack. The last tooth gear of the rack was broken, we think because of the much more travel room of the steering. Does anyone else had the same Problems as we had? So many people drive the rack spacers an we have never heard of any issues with it.
I've had that happen before once but every other 36 rack with spacers has been fine. E46 purple tag rack i fitted didnt like spacers at all and would lock up on full extension but I know loads of other people used them just fine
Do you know if they work with a e39 front by chance? Is there a major difference between the 3 series and 5 series?
I don’t believe it’ll work with the v8 models. But I believe it’ll bolt up to your car. Can’t confirm clearances and stuff tho. Maybe I can try in the future
How about changing the arms for E46 ones?
You could but that ruins the caster on the car which in return affects Steering feel. These are meant to just be a bolt on solution
Is shipping worldwide ?
Will this be a limited run or are you looking to sell these for awhile?
Depends on how they do. But I’m sure DHQ will keep em in stock!
it's even easier to put a washer between rod and rack 😉
It is, but the issue is you still have a weak tie rod
Can you use these rods with an angle kit or angle block?
Yes if you have more room for angle. Or you can run these with the original steering limiters in place
This is a tough spot Chelsea is putting us in here. It's like a gateway just try a little angle... it's cheap enough and then well I better weld that diff... slippery slope. I'll bite.
Haha they are sick for street cars! I slide this little ti around everywhere!
tell em! lol
Bringing this old thread up from the dead. Looking for a solution like this for grass roots-daily-driven-drift-e46. Where does one find a source for well made adapters like this?
Drift HQ Carries these exact tie rods
@@alaskanforlifeproductions8063 last I checked Drift HQ won’t ship to Canada where I live.
@@duanebradley1324 i haven’t seen them anywhere else sadly :/
Cant i use e30 back suspension for 318ti??
Yea most of it
cummon tell us how many MM so we can as some washers xD some of us are dirt poor haha
How does this work? i don't understand how these tie rods change the geometry and make a difference.
Yeah good question I'm trying to figure this out too
Like rack spacers they increase the amount of movement at the rack end, before it hits the stop. You basically get more travel, then turn the outer ends back out to fix the toe.
@@foamdataservices yeah I thought I figured it out
can you make more lol
Will these work on my e92 m3?
Haven’t tested them on e9x yet
will this work on a e30 with a e36 or e46 rack?
Yup. It’ll work!
@@chelseadenofa sorry to ask if i didn’t see your post anywhere else but where can I buy The extenders ?
Will these work on e46?
Yes
$220 shipped to Canada...ouch lol
Call me dumb but I dont understand how that adds angle, if you know please explain
so on the inner tie rod you have the large part, which limits the length the tie rod can go out. By making the large part sit further from the rack in a straight position so you can turn them further. You can buy steering rack spacers which have the same effect, but theyre not as strong. The spacers make it so your steering rack can turn 4mm further, which is a decent distance at full lock
Maybe I didn’t do a good enough job explaining it. This is like the oldest trick in the book for adding angle, I always forget there are people that go into drifting when there were tons of angle iptins
@@joshkiej6601 alright I get it now, thanks
The best $120 you can spend
Did you even tell.... what you did except change tie rods ? to what tie rod ?
How did you miss the whole part where he said he custom designed the tie rods? There’s a link in the description to get them from drift hq for $120. That’s some good angle for the price.
The part that threads into the rack is modified so that it goes further into the rack. This means the rack can travel further, leading to more angle. I saw him explain it on a FB Marketplace listing for them.
I did explain it. I also talked about how excited I was to be able to offer this to people. Then I put the link in the bio.
All I changed was the tie rod
@@chelseadenofa woopsie
@@chelseadenofa What if I used this in conjunction with those ebay angle "adapters"?
Looks a lot like an e90 tie rod...hmm 🤨
Go on.....
E90 tie rods are just longer shaft e46 tie rods. They don’t add any angle, and they are actually weaker than 36 tie rods.
@@chelseadenofa that is true. I was forgetting the added angle comes from the longer length on the part that screws into the rack. I'm sure it's stock on some other car, you just beat us to the punch.
Nope it’s actually designed specifically for this use. It’s much stronger than anything else In oem form
@@chelseadenofa when you have the time could you make a video of other front end suspension upgrades and adjustments like the True coil overs sucks episode?
Also could you go into detail about chassis reinforcement and what material used for reinforcement is best in your opinion or going about making your own piece out of the which metal material is going to perform.
Tired of the school cars eating tie rods I’m guessing?
Yup
I call bs.. would not change a thing..
