What are these?

I was going through my unused parts last night and found these. What are they?

Thanks Mike. I'm glad it's just another part that was meant for a different purpose.

Frank although I'm happy with my manual steering I'll hold onto the adapters for now.

Guys,

Do you need those extenders if you install your power rack with the Breeze Offset Bushings to help avoid the bump steer, which is what I believe the rack extenders also do as alternate solution?

Not exactly. Both can improve front end geometry and reduce bump steer, but they are different. The Breeze bushings center up the rack and move it slightly. The extenders move the pivot point of the inner tie rods out to where they line up better with the pivot points of the upper and lower control arms. The manual rack that FFR sells is a specially modified rack from Unisteer that has the wider pivots out of the box. With the extenders, a PS rack can achieve a similar setup.
