Rose joint toe link kit for Elise MK2 steel hubs
The so called "bump steer" has substantially negative effects on the vehicle´s dynamics, thus affecting cornering ability and straight-line stability.
The self-steering behaviour of the rear axle creates:
•oversteer, which is caused by an increased "toe-out" of the rear wheels under bump in corners.
•straight-line instability at higher speeds - especially on highway & track.
•pushing the car over the race track´s curbs creates an unwanted movement of the rear axle.
•instability of the car under heavy braking.
The aims of the KOMO-TEC toe link-kit including the kit´s specification can be described as follows:
•assure more precise control of the rear suspension by the use of rose-jointed links and heavy-duty connecting rods to remove free play across the rear wheels;
•left/right hand threaded high-performance Unibal joints and hardened distance washers;
•ultimate strength forged chrome rose joints - made of high specification chrome-molybdenum steel (42CrMo4) - stronger than EN40;
•non-flexible stainless steel rods with high bending resistance;
•12.9 grade high tensile bolts (1300 N/mm²);
•maintainance-free and fully sealed rose joints;
•all rods, plugs and nuts are made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
The kit is easy to install by DIY workout. Just mount it before final professional riding geometry adjustment and fine-tuned individual suspension setup.
