Bending steering arms on GQs

Post by mud_patrol »

Anyone else run into this problem? This is now the second time I've had to bend it straight.

Weld some extra pieces for strength?

Or buy the After Market adjustable one?

ADVICE?

Upon advice off the MAD mav come buggy owner myself and HYPOlux are gettin some made up out of 33.4x6.35 seamless tube .....

We goin to runnin GQ coil cab TRE's so its just a matter of gettin a 30x1.5mm right and left hand thread cut onto the ends ..............which will cost bout 70 bucks per arm to do both ends ..................

A 6 metre lenght of seamless costs bout 150 bucks so ya will get bout 2 each of tierods and draglinks plus enough left ova for maybe another tierod.............. so if ya have some mates with Q-uuees it will work out reasonably affordable.......................

Just a thought :D

this works out cheap and the shit is real strong.

if you are lazy and/or have no friends to share the stick of tube with, snake racing's shit is pretty cheap. i think about $500 gets you both parts in cr-mo with 4 new rod ends.
