maxxdude1234 · **Bent hinge pins? -** 11.06.2005, 01:20 PM

I've got problem with bending titanium hinge pins. I'm using supermaxx titanium pins, but the front bottom hinge pins keep on bending at the back (near the steering bellcrank). I know why they're bending, its because when i turn at high speed the lower A arm transmits a lot of force to the bottom pin, and it bends.

What i want to know is are there any stronger pins (hardened steel, lunsford titanium etc...) and where can I get them from? cheers

ps. if you want a pic to see what I am talking about, just ask.
