    Default Group Buy - Rose Jointed Steering Arms (track rod end replacements)

    Hi All,

    Not sure if there are any rules on group-buys etc, but I'll roll with it anyway, and if I need to ask anyone, or put it somewhere different then so be it.

    I am doing a group buy on Rose Jointed Steering Arms, which are basically a direct replacement for your track rod ends, but better.

    The benefit of these, are that if you run your car low, doesn't matter how low, and experience slight or dramtic bumpsteer from your steering arms not being horizontal (ie: going up towards the outside the car).

    So with these, you can run your rosejointed steering arms BELOW your hub carrier, and are totally adjustable so you can set the height exactly as you want it, thus keeping your arms horizontal to maintain excellent handling.

    This is the best option you could possibly have, better than inverted hubs to make your trackrod ends going up instead of down, because again - you will have the ability to alter the plunge angle.

    These are obviously available for Novas, Corsas and Tigras.

    The price, should we get 11 or more people, is £80 delivered to your door for the pair, including the rosejoints themselves.

    Here is a photos of exactly what you'll get for your money







    All you will need to alter on your actual hub carrier, is to get the hole drilled out, as currently it has a tapered insert in it, and obviously it needs to be the same bore all the way down for the bolt to pass through, to ensure there is no play.

    A must for any track car imo

    Any questions please ask below, alternatively please start a list for those that are intersted.

    Thanks for reading

    Olly

    Just to add:
    All the arms are made from stainless steel so they wont rust if its a show car, the bearings are of a high quality with a 28,000lb loading spherical joint!

    Screwing onto the steering arm part i understand. Once i have drilled out the hub carrier, what holds the bolt/RJ in place? The diameter of the collars and the bolt head look the same so what stops it falling through?! But yeah some pics would be great. Thanks. I am certainly interested, especially at that price!

    Would it not be easier to use female rose joints?

    Or is there a specific reason for using the adaptor and male rose joints?
