A. Yes, the rods can be modified by cutting to shorten or using extenders (and extra connectors when necessary) to lengthen or widen. Shortening or lengthening the L-style Track Rod is easy, you simply cut to desired dimensions or add the appropriate length extender section to the ends of the rod to lengthen. The extenders that are offered separately come with one connector only, so you may - depending on the changes you are making - need additional connectors. Please note: This item is nonreturnable if cut.
