For those of you with the above bumpsteer kit installed.
As you might know there's an issue with the durabilty of the spherical bearing supplied in these kits. I know there are some of you that have gone through several pairs of replacments bearings but the problem is that after market rod end bearings are a servicable part and because of this will always need to be replaced at some point but it would be nice that the bearing last a little longer than 6 months, even a year would be good.
The problem is that 99% of true motorsport bearings are made to imperial specifications and only a few metric sizes are available, guess which we need.
There were investigations going on to try and find a sutable bearing, a company was found that could supply a stronger more durable bearing but the bearing in question was manufactured in Germany and made in quite small quantites so there was a supply problem. Basically they have been on back order for about 4 months. I got a call from the supplier this afternoon telling me there now in stock.
Initionaly he gave me a price of £40.83 + vat each, then £30.09 + vat each but if I was to order 10 pairs he would do them for £28.59 + vat each (£67.18 inc vat for the pair).
So you have 2 choices, loose the bumpsteer kit and replace with factory items, with this you get your bumpsteer back and can start going striaght on at roundabouts again or replace your worn or soon to be worn rod end bearing for the above.
Do I have 10 takers or should I just order another pair for myself.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS JUST THE BEARING PART OF THE KIT, SO THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THE ABOVE KITS.
