Heavy Duty track rods

<< < (2/2)

Xtremeteam:
i normally set all the tracking on any of my motors to either parallel or as near as,
ive got a sumo bar on the racer & uprooted a kirb stone with it once,didnt slow me down much either,always take a drop arm with joint pre built & a pair of tre's L&R thread

robbie:
OK then, interesting topic this, seeig as how we seriously bent our rear bar today. The front wheels looked at an intersting angle. We managed to straighten it enough to get it home, but sure was odd to steer  :?

I see from this that there are several replacement bits, but which is probably the best?? and what is the URL/telephone for ordering them :)

Is the front bar the same length as the rear bar?? If so that would make things easy to carry spares

Xtremeteam:
the front bar & rear bar are different lenghts & also different depending the vehicle they are on,

in regards to the sumo bars my mate is currently making them up at work from heavyer guage material then the sumo bars you can buy,not given me a price yet but hes normally reasonable

--- Quote from: "Range Rover Blues" ---The TRE should be able to hold up the car when stationary, provided they aren't worn.  It's when you hit something hard when your'e moving at a pace'  I'm sticking with standard track rods for now, the QT guard will stop them bending too far.

Out of interest, what did you pay?

£100 for the pair complete with TRE's. Not cheap for a bit of steel bar, but standard ones aren't much cheaper. So, given the need to change anyway, I chose the heavy duty route.

I would be interested in one of them (well two I suppose) for my hybrid.  Sick of bending those bloody bars.  Bad enough the steering with the simex tyres let along with a bent track rod!  :shock:

Keep us posted mate
