Steering and ROSE joints

[Dennis Nicholas]

Dennis, I never had much success with rose joints on road cars. They are expensive and don’t cope well with road dirt. Different on a racing car, though. The other thing you might want to think about is that the spring loaded joints at the ends of the drag link ( come on, you knew what it was all along, really) are there for a reason.

Road dirt.......That was to be one of the questions....(but I forgot to ask)...I was thinking of some kind of boot covering each end.
Yep, understand role of springs/cups....just all seems a bit flimsy in my usage.

Really.......yes
