rose jointed track rod ends

Hi was reading a suspension thread of the tuscan forum and there was pictures showing rose jointed track rod ends and they came from a group bye on the cerbera forum years back sounds a good mod making the rack level anyone know any details or a link to original post cheers

I had a set of rose jointed track rod ends from a tvr parts supplier who is no longer in business and I couldn't get them to stop knocking. I eventually changed them back to the originals.

There was an anti bumpsteer kit done a few years ago, I am not convinved that the rose jointed trackrod ends were a part of that.

I have known a few people buy them and then change back to the originals fairly quickly.

You are correct, as I have the bump steer kit and it has no rose joints with it...

I think the more important factor in those pics is the fact the steering arms are parralell with the suspension arms.

Sounds like they are not worth having , when you say parralell steering arms do you mean the wishbones as looked at mine and they need to drop on the hub side to be level , does that mean raising front shocks as i measured ride height and i have got 115mm on the outriggers on the front does sound a bit low cheers chris

I'm not sure if some people are confusing rose jointed drop links with track rods??

This is the og thread on the group buy.

These are 3 pics I took after fitting a bumpsteer kit that was sold a few years ago. See if you think it's working. Total toe change 8 degrees across the axle full bump to full rebound.

Is that the RP, S6 or group buy thread one?

Joolz - what's your verdict ?

[ridds]

I'd be interested to see what it's like without the kits as well.

[jackwibble]

Don't bother!

[Basil Brush]

The only real way to do it is measure the existing movement and shim the rack accordingly.

I've still got the bumpsteer kit which I haven't fitted. Anyone wants any pics, measurements or details just let me know.
