Guest Anonymous Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Are the Quick Steering Knuckles from MSA any good? What do they actually do and are they worth it? I plan to do some autocrossing and road racing. Anything to make it easier to move those big meats up front will help. Thanks. ------------------ Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Johnson Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 By design, short arms speed up your steering ratio but they also increase the effort required to turn the wheel. For me , the shorter arms are a reasonable trade off because I want my car to handle like a Go Kart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsil Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 They are the ones that came on 1970 240's until 10/70. They are 10mm shorter, and were changed because the steering on the origionals were very stiff. But for racing/Autocorssing, I would definately put them on. You can get them from MSA, or find a '70 in the yard (yea right) and pull them.

blueovalz Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Also, the toe-in may change once these are put on so don't forget to check the alignment when done. The steering effort will be increased slightly with these, and I found when I went slalom racing, that I needed the extra help with the power assist rack, but that was mostly because of the 10" soft compound slicks, 7 degree caster, and a smaller diameter steering wheel. It was 2.25 turns L-to-L (very twitchy on the road course, and the steering pump belt was removed to fix that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 Thanks for the info guys. I think the steering knuckles would be a good add on but I also think then I might need a pwr steering set up. ------------------ Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
