Designed For

This steering plate is tailored to fit the Nitrage 5.2 chassis exactly, matching factory fixings to ensure correct installation and alignment.

Can I reuse the original screws?

We recommend using the screws supplied in the kit to ensure correct length and thread engagement for a safe installation.

Will this affect steering geometry?

The plate keeps the original geometry but reduces flex, so steering input becomes more precise without altering pivot points.

Is any setup change needed after fitting?

After installation check steering trim and end points and make minor adjustments if required to restore centred steering feel.

How durable is the aluminium compared to plastic?

Aluminium is more resistant to deformation and wear than stock plastic parts, offering longer service life under repeated impacts.

Any advice for installation torque?

Tighten screws evenly and avoid over torqueing; hand tight plus a small final turn with a driver is usually sufficient, and use threadlocker for rough running conditions.
