If you want smooth wheel articulation and zero play, you must match the load path correctly. Focus on these three critical factors when upgrading your linkage.
- Use chromoly steel cores to absorb sudden frame twist impacts without deforming
- Align thread rotation direction with your axle travel to prevent self loosening
- Install quality grease fittings to flush out abrasive trail dirt and preserve inner bearings
