Overview
The Fox Racing Shox tie rod mounting clamp, part number 803-02-040, is an aluminum steering clamp, 1 3/8 in. in size, for tie rod adjusting sleeves. It is marked universal fit, so compatibility depends on your steering setup rather than a named vehicle.
Tie rod adjusting sleeves
Tie rod adjusting sleeves set toe by changing the length of the tie rod, and a clamp on each end locks the sleeve in position once the setting is right. A clamp that loosens lets the sleeve creep, which can alter alignment and cause uneven tire wear. Because the clamp carries the holding force, its fit to the sleeve matters as much as its strength.
When choosing a replacement, match the clamp to the sleeve diameter and check that the clamp slot lines up with the sleeve’s adjustment. Aluminum clamps are light and resist corrosion, but they can deform if overtightened, so use a torque reference and avoid bending the clamp. Replace a clamp that shows cracks, a rounded bolt head or a gap that will not close evenly.
- Check sleeve diameter against the clamp
- Set toe before final clamp tightening
- Recheck alignment after the first few drives
