HI.

Quote "Also look at Jeremy Phillips front rockers... as fitted to Striker Fury Phoenix Stylus etc "
If you look at that particular setup and all it's problems that should be enough to put you off top rocker arms. The whole of that system seizes up and has to be left loose on the pivot bolt to actually work. Which then means you are then left with the bracketts having oval location holes. The bearing version was no better as it just bound up with use.

Then theres the problem of a small knock on the wheel transmits it's load straight to the chassis and bends it. By the time the chassis has been stiffened enough in that area to eliminate that problem you have a chassis that weighs a tonne.


Cheers Matt
