I believe an 81 spur is a good one to have

I did have one problem. The carbon steering rack broke, quite easily. It cracked right where the ball stud for the steering linkage is attached.

I've already contacted Speedtech and Yokomo direct, neither have them instock.

Given how easily it broke, I'm not exactly excited to replace it with the same part. I do not know any other options here. Does anyone else?

Maybe it was a freak think. I'm interested to know if others have found this part to be fragile.

Were you running a servo saver? That might have helped.

Steering Knuckle

Hi all,

is it me only or does anyone else experience the top kingpin for the camberlink stripping the screw threads in the steering knuckles? Will changing to aluminium knuckles help?

Thanks.

Yes, I had the same problem on the weekend just gone. I think the Alu knuckles would do the trick, but the Suzuki ones are almost impossible to find at the moment as they're machining all the Aluminium for the BD and LCG.

Yes there is another brand of blue aluminum steering knuckles out there for the Yok, can't remember the name.

Best bet is to buy the Ti light weight king pins, this keeps the kingpins going in straight and from binding. Most people overtighten the top king pin, just screw it in a less than a half turn once it feels tight. Use the Ti kingpins in the bottom.
