What aftermarket, circlips-based 52mm DCJ's do you guys recommend beyond RSD's? Exact part-refs would be fantastic. thanks in advance.
Lastly, I confirm some of the camber link screws on the top-bulkheads tend to come loose. This is really really weird. Even with proper tools... so check them out often rather than loctiting them
I've never had a screw come undone from a metal part or a driveshaft, even racing on asphalt where there are a lot of bumps and vibrations. I have however snapped the heads off a couple of titanium screws. The conclusion here is that I do things up bastard tight and they don't come undone. Screws cost very little compared to lost runs and broken DCJs.
I'd suggest just doing everything up tighter. To the point where you physically can't turn the wrench any more. (obviously don't do that in plastic parts...).
If you do need some DCJs, the Radtec ones are decent; I ran these until Xray started including theirs with the kits. They don't wear at all and I've never broken one.
