Product Description
Terrafirma heavy duty steering bars.
Ground clearance is an important factor for successful off-road driving. The lowest points of the vehicle will
inevitably make contact with the ground at some stage while driving in ruts or negotiating rocks and tree stumps. The steering rods on live axle vehicles are particularly vulnerable and can easily get bent seriously affecting front wheel alignment and steering ability. Even slightly bent steering rods can cause excessive tyre wear and poor handling. When very large tyres are fitted the forces acting on the steering gear are far greater especially when attacking obstacles off-road, hard impacts on the wheels can also bend or kink the steering rods causing serious steering problems.
The problem is not just for recreational and competitive off-roaders, for example contractors and farmers driving in ruts can easily bend the track rod adversely affecting safe steering. Terrafirma Steering Rods are made from solid 30mm diameter steel and are supplied with precisely machined left hand and right-hand threads, locking nuts and quality greaseable track rod ends. For Discoverys a steering damper bracket is also included. The original steering rods fitted to Discovery 2s include a non-serviceable crimped track rod end. For ease of servicing all Terrafirma steering rods use the same track rod ends, see application guide.
