Then again, 370Zs are going through a near recall now on the steering. LoL...

So, just saying. I have 20mm all around. 100+% safe.
Haha... that's why the V6 Mustangs have a speed limiter.

I don't mind spacers at all... just not bolt ons. You're introducing 5 more points of failure... imagine the stress that the spacer is under during a spirited road or track drive.

I will always use a stud replacement type, but that's just me.

V6 yes... but still... a mustang. You wont see that on a Z... just a national steering outage. Lmao

Well, you won't see it on the Z because the Z doesn't have a budget model.
