1 - Build up the left and right steering blocks as shown to the left. Start by threading the button head screw through
the steering arm and into the red low profile ball.
2 - Then, slide the steering arm assembly into the steering block, lining up the 2 mounting holes. Using the black 2-56
socket head screws, fasten the arm to the steering block. DO NOT OVER tighten. You will drive the screw through
the steering block, deforming the part.
1 - Push the Dual aluminum axle into the plastic steering block. Push it all the way in firmly.
Notice you can install the axle inline or trailing. Typically, this is installed inline for oval
racing. (as shown to the right) This will increase the steering response as compared to
trailing.
2 - Insert the e-clip into the groove on the end of the King pin. Next, slide the nylon spring
cup all the way down until it rests against the e-clip. Make sure the larger diameter of the
spring cup is against the e-clip and the smaller diameter side faces up. Now slide the spring
down against the spring cup.
3 - Now put your king pin / spring assembly on the end of the Allen key and slide it through
the lower arm pivot ball, & then thread it into the steering block (with the steering block all
the way down against the pivot ball). Thread the king pin in until the spring just touches the
lower arm pivot ball. The preload on the spring can be adjusted with the king pin length.
4 - Once happy with the preload position, lock the king pin with the 4-40 brass set screw
through the back of the steering block.

1 - Take the upper pivot ball and push it through the steering block and thread
into the upper arm. Thread it in so there are no threads showing.
2 - Take the slotted capture insert and thread it into the steering block. THIS
IS A BIT TRICKY .... as the insert must be fitted at a down angle as shown to
the left. DO NOT try to insert it horizontally into the steering block. It is
actually threaded in at a down angle toward the center of the car.
3 - Tighten this capture insert so that the steering movement is bound and
slow. Yes, we are actually slightly over tightening this piece FOR NOW. With
the steering movement bound from over tightening, move the steering to it’s
limits, back and forth. What we are doing is “breaking in” the upper
ball/capture insert. After a minute or so of break in, loosen the insert just
enough so the steering is free. Not too much or you will induce excessive free
play.
