Which steering guard?

<< < (4/4)

Disco_Stu:
Having had a look at the britpart ones, there almost the same price as a steering guard and come complete with track rod ends as you say.

Would I be correct in thinking that this type are for relocated damper set ups? What else will I need? Its the eternal question isn it....

Oh, one more question. Why does a STEERING GUARD not protect the STEERING COMPONENTS? This is a concept which I'm struggling with :)

Stu.

Worst bit of kit i ever bought, bent the track rod for the third time since fitting the guard this weekend.  I'm going for sumo bars.

Xtremeteam:
run southdown steering & axles guards & have reduced bending my steering to 0 since fitting them,

Dan..... I just think your a "£$% driver  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

have moded my steering guard so it extends all the way up to the bumper to stop it getting packed with mud & whats with all this going backwards caper?

forwards is the only way :wink:

wait till you have a rear winch my friend...then you find out what i mean.....  :wink:

as for not protecting steering components, the main component that the guard protects is the drop arm
the track rod lies behind the axle and underneath..and in my eyes is far more vunerable than the draglink and drop arm

i found out that when on rocks and you drop down and land onto the guard, it lifts landy off ground and your stuck...so out with the highlift (which results in time lost...less punches)

without the guard, you wouldnt bottom out and no the rocks wouldnt come close to any components

as for you asking about damper kits, just state you model..i.e disco and they will supply the correct bars, so your damper will stay in its normal place

hope that helps.....and mike....shut up  :lol:

rubbish driver peh...not a big girls blouse like you  :twisted:
