Rose joints
 
Is it best to fit rose joints just on the outer end of the steering arms on K1/KF as replacements for ball grippas, or on the inner end? I want to reduce chance of them popping-off but don't want to increase the likelihood of breaking something. As both my K1 and KF are built as per kit, I would love opinions from people who have done this mod.

Although the idea of them not popping of is good, fitting rose joints on the steering area will transfer the shock from a crash/bump to an area that can break rather than popping off.

Yes that's what worries me, so that is why I was only going to fit a rose joint on one end of the link each side

I've ran in 2 meetings now with rose joints on the inside to reduce slop. 1st time worked great, but 2nd time I experienced servo problems which may or may not have been related. I'm going to try a servo saver next and see how it goes.

Hi I bought a 2nd hand aero with them just on the outer steering arm .and as my driving not that good first contact with the wall (not hard) it broke so had to use the ball stud. I think it's better for em to pop off instead of breaking .hope that helps .

Not had a problem with my KF or K1, but would much rather it just popped off rather than broke something else.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'll be keeping to the ball studs!
