Cruiser Patch 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Inner Tie Rod Claw Washer (90214-27002 redesign)

SOLD IN PAIRS (2x)

It's been well documented that the late model 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470 steering racks have an unfortunate habit of releasing their inner tie rods in extreme situations. Some ih8mud members have applied blue thread locker to their inners but this method has varied results and often makes removal of the inner more difficult.

The OEM claw washer diameter leaves little room to create a meaningful fold around the edges of the inner tie rod end. By adding a larger diameter claw washer, one can avoid severe damage such as can be seen here (inner tie rod failure video).

The Cruiser Patch 90214-27002-V4.0 claw washers are CNC cut from G90 Galvanized steel in .059"

Installation: Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend the small tabs into a 90-degree angle. These tabs will slot into the steering rack, preventing the tie rod and/or washer from rotating. Once the inner tie rod is securely fastened to the steering rack, use a hammer and punch/chisel to fold the edges of the claw washer around the hex-shaped inner tie rod surface.
