The MA motorsports knuckles are just normal knuckles with the the steering arm part cut shorter. This will give you extra lock and faster steering but you'll still have the poor alignement of a standard lowered car. Roll center will be bad because the lower arm is already angled too far up before the suspension even starts compressing. You also get bad bump steer and other issues that make for poor handling. The Driftworks ones give you a new hub that is designed so the suspension arms and steering arm pickup are in the perfect place for a lowered car to eliminate all these problems.
The PSM kit is similar to the MAM kit, they basically just sell a 'U' shaped piece of metal with a dowel in that goes into the original hole in the knuckle. The steering arm bolts to the bottom of that piece, closer to the hub to give you more angle. Its a nice cheap kit but the geometry correction you get with the Geomaster knuckles makes the PSM kit look a bit of a bodge
Got a set of knuckles yesterday from the orange gang... if you have pre-ordered ordered you will knot be dissapointed!!!
Yes they are finished now also, when ordering the Hub Knuckles. Just select the offset rack spacers in the drop down menu. £85.00 extra.
A couple of quick questions: 1. Whats the length of the thread that does into the rack? 2. Is there an option to purchase without buying the knuckles? Cheers for any info
1: a lot. circa 25mm IIRC 2: There will be . They will be £105. You can ring up and order a set or wait until we have time to wack them in the shop
for the sake of it, you'd be daft not to get the knuckles and offset spacers together. Whilst uras discontinued thier spacers, i believe the solution that DW have come up with is far superior and will not suffer from the same issues as the uras items. ie... falling off! lol. As i said to the boys at HQ, it will not suprise me to see these knuckles and spacers go global.
Now i have got my nuckles, and they look very good. Start fitted them these weekend. but I run into a problem, I got 2 right sided front nuckles (I email you DW guys about it) The offset rackspacers, I see you write here that you cannot mount them wrong, but for me these doesn't really look correct. Please see pics.. For the rear nuckles, I had to bore up and cut some of metal to fit the brake caliper. I use D2 big brake kit. But they fitted with no mods on oem nuckles. Just a notice for others that these could be an issue. Random bad cell phone pics...
Do those bump stops on the blue front lower arms get in the way of uber lock or are they ok? I expect you know but the offset rack bit should be facing forward?
