Steering Reliability Upgrade - XRAY 352651

The XRAY 352651 ball studs with backstop are crafted from Hudy Spring Steel for robust service with XT9 steering blocks. They are intended to reduce steering disconnections and improve long term linkage stability.

Enhanced Ball Shape Improves Downtravel

The V2 ball contour increases downtravel so steering inputs remain consistent when the suspension compresses. The backstop design secures the steering rod assembly, reducing the likelihood of separation after collisions.

Recommended Fitment Procedure

Fit the studs into the ball joints before mounting the steering blocks to preserve alignment and minimise the chance of accidental disassembly during competitive running.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some XRAY items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Are these the V2 version of the ball studs?

Yes, these feature the updated ball profile that increases downtravel compared with earlier versions, helping with steering control on compression.

How do I check for correct fitment on my XT9?

Confirm thread engagement and that the ball seats cleanly in the cup; check steering movement through full travel to ensure no binding occurs.

What maintenance is recommended for long life?

Regular inspection for wear, keeping pivot areas free of grit, and occasional light lubrication will extend service life and maintain consistent steering feel.

Can these studs be used with aftermarket turnbuckles?

They are compatible if the turnbuckle ball ends accept the same ball diameter and thread; always double check thread size and clearance before fitting.
