JMortensen Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Looks like Dave changed the design a bit. Maybe there were problems. Is the hole drilled at an angle??? What does the other side look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 the other sides are flat and the holes are at an angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 So if the hole is at an angle then the design has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy85 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 What's the difference in spindle to tie rod length between the stock and 'quick' steering arms? I've thought the shorter ones would really help with a tight autocross but my tires already rub the swaybar so I'm wondering if maybe I already have a set of short ones?

bjhines Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Adding the "bump steer" roll center spacers puts the steering arm close to the tires... The short arms are 10mm shorter IIRC.. it was in the description from MSA a while back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy85 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The short arms are 10mm shorter Yeah but 10mm shorter than what. I'm looking for dimensions here and not just 10 mm shorter than stock .... 'cause I dont know what stock is. Thanks Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Sorry to bump an old thread but id love some more info on these. In particular the azc knuckles have really caught my eye, seem like a good and cost effective way to quicken up the steering. Maybe anyone whos gotten these recently (if anyone?) could add some light with their opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose52 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've had the Datsun Comp quick-steering knuckles in my car for about 30 years. No problem on the highway, on the twisties, or around town. However, for me there was a considerable increase in steering effort at parking speed - especially when backing up into a parking space. It wasn't a big problem when I was younger. Now, at age 55 and with the upper body strength starting to decline, I now have to pop the seatbelt so I can lean forward and get over the wheel to crank it over (and I usually run 40psi in the tires). At some point - say when I'm 70 or so, I will probably have to put the stock knuckles back in ... and get a bigger steering wheel to boot ! Also, I do rub on the TC rod at full lock - and this is with 205/60-15 tires on 6" wide 0 offset wheels. It only happens at nearly full lock and I only use that much lock when parking. It would have to be a really sharp, low-speed autocross turn to need that much lock in a driving (not parking) situation. However, this could be a concern for those of you running wider tires ...

Sideways Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i was planning to run 245/16s on 8s with 0 offset, ill have to look into that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
