99CLK320,
the only difference between yours and VIPclk320's is his is in two pieces. in the center of his is an adjuster with regular threads on one side and reverse threads on the other so that when you rotate the center piece you can tighten or loosen the bar. the tighter the bar the stiffer the ride and so forth.

In fact the tie rod end are one left hand and one right hand thread. There is key drive on the bar. I based my drawing on VIPclk320 (thank's), only the fixture is different.

Improve the handling more than expected. The understeer is reduce by 10-15% and inner rear wheel spin in turn too. Very efficient at the track, in normal life, you have to drive very enthusiasticly to reach the breakpoint.
