I have been eyeing this style of bump steer kit for sometime. Does anyone here have first hand experience with this and does anyone know if the kit is available cheaper elsewhere?
Thanks! Attached thumbnail(s)

I just fixed one of those a couple of weeks ago that was broken. The problem is that the little wedge piece that goes into the steering arm isn't tight enough on the bolt, which allows a little bit of play, leading to breakage sometimes under racing conditions, but everything breaks eventually in racing.
I bought a Rebel Racing bump steer kit to replace it with. The Rebel kit has a 14mm bolt that is machined down to fit into the wedge shaped hole in the steering arm, rather than a 3/8" (about 10mm) bolt. A 14mm bolt is twice as strong as a 10mm bolt, all other things being equal. They're about the same money. http://www.rebelracingproducts.com/Suspension/Steering.html |
