What this means is that the spacer locates within the factory cast parts ensuring that the bolt has no side-to-side play resulting in the ultimate in steering response. This feature makes our product unique and superior to many of our competitors which do not have this shoulder and opens the opportunity for the bolts move within the steering assembly.
