Kraton Steering/toe links popping off Kraton

[nate_TalionKraton34]

Ok guys, I’m sure I could have found this somewhere on the thread, but I have three children and a wife so I don’t exactly have a ton of extra time to go through the boards and find an answer so I’m asking for some help here.

Coming off of big jumps or double backflips with my Kraton anything that involves a hard landing and my toe links keep popping off of the steering rack, I thought of trying to use maybe some rubber o rings of some sort to secure them on but does anyone have any better suggestions to a solution? Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated, also the damn nut on the hub of my steering servo saver keeps working down, any suggestions on that as well, the car in topic is a v3 Kraton that I’m beating on. Thanks fellas.

Use Loctite on the servo nut to keep it in the position that you want.

I highly suggest using the green version, as it is stronger than the blue, but not as permanent as red.

The green also is designed to wick into threads.

I believe the V4 has improved steering link thingies with a lip that stops them from popping off. I have not looked that closely into it, although I do have a Typhon V4 order that should arrive on Tuesday so I can take a look once I get it and compare.

Yea, I put the blue lock tight on the servo saver but it still backed off, I’ll pick up some green today.

Hell yea Powerdubs , if you could let me know how those new steering components look that would be awesome!!!’

Use an e-clip. @Notorious J knows the proper size needed.

These are the V4 balls that have a feature to keep rod end from popping off.

You can buy separately or look for a whole V4 steering assembly for about the same price on eBay.

3/16 for the e clips. The new no pop off balls, are a much better fix.
