<< < (4/4)

Xtremeteam:
ive got a sumo bar on my racer & never bent it so far,pulled up a kerbstone with it doin 50mph but never bent it  :twisted:  :twisted: dads got a southdown guard on his 110 which totaly encloses the track rod might get 1 like that for my 90 now that ive started

[Stainless? has anyone heard of galvanic corrosion? put Stainless next to mild steel and it uses the mild steel as a sacrificial anode, so it corrodes faster!]

yeah, but neither will corrode as quick as mild steel against mild steel... if you put loads of copper grease down inside the tube it'll be fine.

stainless corrodes aswell, but nowhere near as fast as mils steel or ally.

if you are that worried about galvanic corrosion slide a magnesium rod down the middle of each track rod tube, then that'll act as the anode....

Bulli:
The standard ones are easier to fix, why not fit a track rod protector. there are loads available and as they dont fasten to any steering components the chances of being undrivable from a big hit are less.
