Default Cougar SV front Camber Link

What parts will I need to make a straight link and lose that silly angled ball cup?

Just get long threaded balls and some spacer washers, to move the ball further forward, job done

I heard 2mm of washers will do, but have not done it myself yet.

Nice one Carl, seen to many of the funky ball cups break.

It won't make it handle better, I am going to do it for reliability reasons only.

Maybe less flex in the ball cup, but that would be about it, as the link length would still be the same.

the 2 ball studs will still be in the same postions. It doesnt matter if the link is shaped like a coat hanger, it will still handle exactly the same
