CPRE Installation Instructions
For Mustang II applications that have been widened, it is necessary to use extenders so the tie rod ends can reach the steering arms. The proper way to extend a Mustang II rack is by adding an extension between the rack and pinion and the inner tie rod.

Caution: It is possible to gain the extra length necessary by extending one or both outer tie rod ends. This method is not advised because it will negatively affect steering geometry, leading to issues like bump steer or tires/wheels rubbing.
