    Svc uca and tie rods instal question

    Tie rod boots I ran the OEMs, you have to cut them back a bit to fit. I used worm clamps to hold them to the rack/tie rod. For the rod ends, I used the boots for the respective size from Kartek: https://www.kartek.com/parts-categories/rod-end-boots.html When installing you have to be careful...

    The squeaking is normal, lube em up regularly and it'll help keep it down as well as prolong their life. I did mine every oil change, though I had boots on the rod ends to help keep the water out.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Rausch has a dedicated track for just the Raptors. We pretty much show up, run, hangout, repeat. Kids (both big and small) are welcome! I had one as passenger in the Panda this past weekend. Some folks camp at the track, others stay at the hotels nearby in Pine Grove or at an AirBNB. Personally...

    @Donovan you're welcome, would love to see you come out! I want to say the usual turnout is 20-40 trucks. I'll be honest I've never truly counted how many turn out, just by how packed the pits are.

    Two more events this year at Rausch - Aug. 18/19th and Nov. 10/11th. I'll be at both! Fridays nights are the night run and then we go just about all day long on Saturdays. I'll be there with the Panda!
