Anyone in the market for some?

I have some sets for sale, I'll get some pics up but I know Blocky spied them on the weekend and approved :sly
 
Aye. I've been on the lookout for something similar but as yet, found nothing as good.
 
I have to ask, why on earth do you need to up-rate steering stops?

I try never to wind the steering far enough to hit them in the first place, and if I do, I back it off again, as it's not good for the power steering being held against the stop. I definitely do not want to be using them when off roading, so surely this is taking "Heavy Duty" a bit far?
 
Is this actually true, I hear it now and then. If so why?

Basically the power steering works by trying to even up the pressure, so when you turn the wheel, one side has a lower pressure and the side with the higher pressure pushes the wheels that way. Once you are against the steering stops, the power steering can never even up the pressure, so keeps pumping at full pressure to try too even it up. Quickest way to blow the seals.

Yeh get some pics up dude I'd be interested:thumb2

not much gets past the blockster does it :D he must have spotted them while he was down there with the tow rope :hide:
 
Not found a nice solution to attaching them yet other than with heavy duty cable ties or jubilee clamps.

I'll get some pics up when I get a spare 5 :bow
