M&M Custom Engineering now have zook hi steer arms ready for sale.
These have been tested very hard on Gonads black zook (if anyone has ever seen him drive it, you know what i mean!) and have had no problems at all with them.
I will get some shots of them fitted to the car tomorrow

the draglink mounts to the tie rod as it allows more articulation without binding in the TRE.
These arms are painted, if you would like them powdercoated we can do that for you.

the machinery required to make the arms runs into many thousands of dollars, the tooling used in the machinery is also extremely expensive. It is also quite time consuming to manufacture the arms.
The original draglink needs to be modfied to run this set up. You can send us the draglink and we can modify it for you, it isnt a major operation.

Without the risk of sounding rude what do you lot think that custom stuff grows on tree's. Mat and Mick are running a business not a charity. People have to start relising that cuwstom stuff cost's there is all the development time and time taken to machine up the parts. Sure the material may not cost much but it is the time taken to make the parts. If you think it is too expensive then try making it yourself.
I am not having a go at you personally just people in general seem to think it takes no time to make this sort of stuff and we should give them away.

Of course we do .. we are comsumers ... we love to consume ...
Well personally .. I would love to be able to build the toughest, most reliable and capable Zuk in the worl for the cost of my breakfast using all the "coolest parts" ...
I am quite certain that alot of people dont realise how hard it is to build something on a small scale with precision tollerance's etc .. I know I dont, all I see as a consumer is a yellow bit of steel that helps me with my steering ... thats costs a bucket load of $$$$$ .. I am sure they are reall y worth that .. (My wife has shoes that cost way more than those arm's .. and she wouldn't even go near the Zuk with em on even If I new high zoot steering arms ... go figure)

the arms are made from 1020 billet.
the draglink needs to have the taper reversed, so unless you have the correct tapered reamer you wont be able to do it yourself. As i said above it is not an expensive operation, you just need the correct gear to do it.
