- Lighter than standard
- Allows for more camber
- Comes with bolts
- Comes with steering arm insert for the option of standard track rod or rose joint
- Black anodised

Will retail at £99.95+vat

 

Group buy of 5 gets you them at £85+vat a pair

Group buy of 10 gets them at £72.50+vat a pair

 

Interest anyone?

Optimised for better bumpsteer? (So lower steering joint attachment than stock arm??)

Half and half. The base ones for standard track rod end are standard geometry. Obviously when use a rose joint you have bump steer adjustability.

I could do some different inserts for those wanting to change the bumpsteer.

if the trackrod vertical mounting point was 10% closer to the ball joint , then this would give same effect as a quick rack or would the bump steer be exagerated in a non linear way?

How much extra for the rose joints (and covers) and inserts for adjusting bump steer?

Whats the deal with the long collets? Are they tapered? They look it but How far do they go into the arm?

Having them as they are now are you not just putting unnessecary strain on the joint between the bearing and arm? Considering you are constantly putting lateral forces onto that part directly, if you cant mount them lower (closer to the arm) would it not of been more sensible to make a more substansial spacer/collet in order to spread the load?

Is it possible to post more detailed pics where the tre or rose joint bolts into the arm unit.?
