If it has X factory in the name, the chances are it will be an improvement on what you currently have

I have lowered the brace by 3mm i also have 1 washer on the hub.

I put on 3 washers (=2,5mm) and there's still some minor bump-in-steer

If possible could someone post some pictures of how to fit the steering rack to the xx4, as it asin't a straight fit I am guessing a small amount of dremel work needs to be done?

Thanks

Paul

It gives a little more turn in but the biggest and best bit about it is how much more steering it gives the car mid corner and exit.

It also makes the steering more consistent.

My XX4 most certainly needed the clearancing SHY illustrated in order for the rack to work.
