Why???

doz · 20-04-2008, 17:04

Out of curiosity is there any reason why you stopped stocking them?

**Phil** · 20-04-2008, 18:21

2 reasons, there's so many different lengths of tie rod end, we ended up having to manufacture 4 differnent ends at great expense, and also because people not using lower arm's with bump stops, used the end of the tie rod end (hitting the lower arm). This broke a couple of shafts in the tie rod end, and we decided it wasn't worth selling them any more.. Our's were actually superb compaired to the toss that every other company apart from Ikeya Formula sell. the cheap ones bind the bearings even on standard lock. The failiure rate is generally so bad that we won't sell them at all, and for most peoples purposes the Tien rod ends are more than adequate.

Ok, sorry for the question and thanks for the clean answer

Rads_s13 · 21-04-2008, 14:11

I'm still running a pair of these 2 years on

**Phil** · 21-04-2008, 14:14

As is my S14, and our R32 I think. I've only ever seen two failiures, and one of those is Bonbon, so that didn't really suprise me

Rads_s13 · 21-04-2008, 14:18

lol good point, the only thing that I couldn't do was use the tien rack spacers as I couldn't pull the rod ends in far enough to track it up, and over time the boots have worn through slightly where they touch the lock stops on the arms. but with the roads in bucks their a god send as if I didn't have them the sterring would jump about
