Improve Steering Balance with XRAY 362270

The XRAY 362270 graphite shim is a targeted upgrade for aluminium steering blocks that helps owners set Ackermann to achieve a steadier driving line.

Robust Graphite Build

Produced from durable graphite, the shim maintains steering precision under repeated loads and helps reduce play in the linkage system.

Mild 1-Slot Steering Profile

The one-slot configuration reduces steering bite versus a zero-slot piece, offering a gentler response that benefits traction and stability on mixed surfaces.

Suitable for Earlier XB Chassis

Designed for vintage series and earlier XB variants, this component is ideal for racers and restorers seeking to keep older cars competitive and predictable.
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.

Can I use this to tune front end grip?

Yes, adjusting to a 1-slot setup can mellow front end sensitivity and help the car track more steadily through corners.

Is the part easy to swap trackside?

It is a quick change with standard tools; keep spares on hand to test different settings between heats.

Will it affect steering wear patterns?

Graphite tends to wear differently than metal; inspect contact areas regularly and replace if you notice excessive play or uneven wear.

Should I adjust other suspension settings too?

Yes, changing Ackermann can interact with toe and camber, so tweak settings progressively and test changes on the intended surface.

Is this compatible with aftermarket steering arms?

Compatibility depends on arm geometry; most aftermarket arms will work but confirm slot alignment and clearance before final assembly.
