Steering ball cups

[Reliquat]

Hi guys,

I'm in trouble with those steering ball cups (not sure if that's the proper name) :

They keep popping out of the ball all the time on both sides, on jumps landing.
Do you guys know a solution to fix this? Or any option part that will do the job?

I took a c-clip and put it over the end of the pivot ball. Hasn’t come off since.

Interesting fix, I have no c-clips home but I will try to do something similar!

I’ve hears of people using rubber small rubber gaskets too.

Ok, I presume anything that will stay in place and prevent the ball cup to pop off will work?

Yes. That the premise. Maybe even a very small zip tie.

I'll find out, thanks!

That might get in it's way at full articulation and cause them to stretch, making the issue worse.

Hi

The holes on most captured ball ends is usually bigger on one side and smaller on the other side, if this is the type you have then just put the smaller hole side facing down.

I tried to do so but on this part I think the hole are the same size, sadly
