The extension from the spindle (cantilever) for attaching the tie rod end is a welded solid steel sleeve capable of withstanding over 40,000 lbs of force. This “cantilever” is stronger than virtually every single part of the stock steering linkage. XV uses the exact same “cantilever” solution. While it might look like a week point, it is not. It barely qualifies for the use of the term “cantilever” as one could just cast the spindle with more meet to accomplish the same thing (which would probably be weaker). There are no spacers in this solution at all.
