King-pin ball stud
 

What does a king-pin ball stud do to the handling of a 2wd car?

But what does it do to the handling?

Pretty much the same as anything that lengthens the link from the outboard end.

I used to run one on the B3 to improve mid corner and corner exit steering.

told ya G :cool:

so did i lol:D

OK, cheers, but didn't everyone? That was box stock on the B3.

Yeah the king pin ball stud was the only version you could have on the caster blocks
think the part number was 7211( i think)

i cut a set of b4 caster blocks down and and fitting b3 king pin ball studs for the x6.. it made the link very long ( even on the outter hole on the shock tower ) it also gave a more aggressive camber change in a bend

Mmmmm, I thought it was gonna probably change something else too, but that's cool.

So, it is also a nice way to add vertical ball stud adjustment to a car that doesn't have it? ;)

Am I getting confused between the XX and the B3 ... I knew I changed one of them ... XX was so long ago I have forgoten everything about it TBH

The king pins on doughtys car in the picture are from the xx as he was trying some new things out.. so possibly you are :p

b3 was inline axles with king pin ball studs...none adjustable in kit form.

They were from the days of the xx & a few people ran them on the xxx! there hard to get your hands on now though

you could make some in theory But you would need to mod the caster blocks but i know how you could do it.

make some what and to what car.
