EVO X LCA on 8/9

ywah I know the 5 turns I have now is technically no good.
Quick look last night and I found some m14 nuts that are 11mm height. So if I weld an 11mm thick nut onto the end of the tie rod and it gives even 8mm more thread engagement I think that would be reasonable?
5 turns x 1.5 pitch = 7.5mm + 8mm engagement from nut (approx?) = 15.5mm
Thought process make sense?

i have a bag of nuts on the way from grainger. being 11mm tall is pretty damn big and honestly almost looks like what is used in the picture i posted previously. ill post a pic when they get here (plan is to weld them on this weekend). If they work like i think they will, i had to order a bag of 50...so i can send you some.
on another note, took the car for a cruise tonight on the new setup, and ive gott say...it feels really nice. between the width and added caster from the bushings, the steering feels a little heavier which feels quite nice on initial impression. need to get it aligned still but it looks like i gained the camber i was after too!

Score! 99-04 Mustangs have the same thread as Evo's and Maximum Motorsport has bumpsteer kits available that has all the needed parts for what you guys (and I) am trying to do.

This kit is pretty sweet, but i REALLY don't want to take off my hubs and drill them. I'm lazy.
I checked into that a bit already and MM to the rescue again.

- 1994-04 Mustang power steering rack tie-rods have metric threads, M14x1.5
Actually, I need it for my aluminum hubs where the tie rod is in double shear. Use on factory hub or EvoX LCA wasn't actually a concern for me, just that we were looking for the same thing.
Of course last night was the first night I started looking for it and definitely felt the struggles of thread pitch issues. This to me is a sweet find, I might be able to incorporate this kit as is completely depending on the size of the spacers.

Ordered the "bolt thru" style bumpsteer kit to check out for my application but might be worth doing some research on mustang taper and see if it matches Mitsubishi. That could be a good option for others doing X hubs and LCA
Or buy the through bolt style and drill the taper out of the knuckle.
