they slip into the heim to make it wider and offer more rotation but you also have to use a smaller bolt with them. thats why on my knuckles i used no spacer so i can have a shorter/fatter bolt so theres no breakage to me

that would work but i put mine on top of the knuckles and the first theing they hit was the sway bar links, im sure you could figure a way around them. to me they were useless pieces of metal so i voted hack that junk off
