For those that have them or similar.

I will go search on pirate for this, but thought I would start a thread here. With the new style without the welded ring, do I have to adjust my steering stops (I read you had to with the ring ones) or are they fine as is?

youll need to adjust them, you should adjust them with standard cv to keep them from binding.

On full lock the inner axle will bind* with the outer ring of the CV as the angle is to great. By limiting the steering, this wont happen.

Apperantly there is no need to adjust them other than Factory Specs. Either way i dont beleive they are as great a product without the ring. Look at the failure rates on the new style.

Was reading that Ruff on pirate.

You can still get the ring added on for another $30 US per field. I aint braking normal CV's yet so these new ones will be far better I am sure. If not, have to get some with a ring next trip.
