ok guys, ive got a breakage problem id like to solve. when i clip an apex too tight i break the lower part of the steering knuckle and the top of the caster block. will aluminum knuckles alone help with this. i suspect that when the bottom of the knuckle gives out, it allows it to twist in the block and break the top of the caster block too. yeah, yeah i know, stop hitting stuff, but you dont get fast driving a conservative line. this is usually a 10-15 dollar break depending on if i lose the bushings in the block or not, and id like to decrease its frequency. opinions? experience?

Aluminum steering blocks will transfer most of the damage to the c-hub. The steering block won't break but the hub will....Therefore cutting your damage control in half.

P.S.-Just got a 007 this weekend. Can't wait to run it for the last 3 weeks of racing.

Do your axles extend out beyond the wheel nuts? They are notorious for getting snagged on the boards. Cut them down or use spacers (wider hex nuts) to make it so they don't protrude beyond the wheel nuts.

Xray makes a wide front lower bumper replacement that works very good as well.

What size bearings do you need if you're running the alum. steering blocks?
