play in apex steering

[hiherthanu]

is there a bushing kit, or someone make one to tighten up the steering?

Mine was loose also, Outlaw put new bushings in and it helped, but still had a little slop in it.

PM Wildchild on here, he makes a greaseable bushing kit.

These are my new ones I make , its a diffrent plastic that is better self lubricating properties.

The bushings also have more surface area than the stockers and greasable.

I also changed the design so they use the stock spacer collars so they can not be over tightened.

how much??

 

[ChrisPolariski]

I need one too.

 

[NITROSKIDUDE]

I will need me some of them , what is it 4 of them? How much?

 

[wildchild]

There 25.00 USD. per block you need 2 to do one post.

 

[ChrisPolariski]

PM your address and I'll send the money. I got some drop brackets from you a couple of years ago, but I don't have your information anymore.

Wildchild... how much for your rider forward kit on a 05 RX-1Mtn. Does it included the new blocks or are these needed extra?

So these kits are to tighten up the steering correct? I have an Apex RTX that has about an 1 1/2" of play at the end of the bars and I am looking to fix that over summer. I don't know much about how the steering system works, but what does this kit exactly do? Does it replace just the stock bushings or does it do more than that? Will it keep the steering tighter for longer? Where exactly does the steering slop come from?

I am very interested in this kit, just want to make sure it will solve my problem before I buy it.

These blocks replace the factory steering blocks, Some of the original blocks I built have two and half years on the same bushings with no slop.

You might want to watch your steering and see were your excess movment is. It could be a heim end , a arm bushing, spindle or the factory steering bushings.

Theres lot of moving parts to watch for.

We will have a 6061 T-6 billet version of this part available within the next couple of weeks. The bearing surface is "super oilite" - oil impregnated bronze - that does not require lubrication.

The parts will look something like the following picture, and will fit Apex (3 req'd), Nytro MTX (2 Req'd), and the Phazer MTX (1 Req'd).
