why wouldn't it be for street?



Just soften up the suspension and your rocking.

Its beefy

That setup would make the power transmission much more rigid and stop a lot of wandering/movement in the front end when under power,braking, cornering my only concern is it might be a little harsh. There would be a few dollars there too, it has had some thought put in to it.

You need to read the post dave put up Gordan,

The parts that I manufacture are primarily for track use. From the very first I know there are many of the extenders that are used on the street. What I tell people is that, the parts have not been given a 100,000 mile life test on the street, I have not tried driving one through a 6 inch deep pot hole in the street.

I do have parts that have been running in road race environments for up to 10 years with zero failures.

My main concerns about these parts being used on the street is: Parts on street cars tend not to be checked very often, torque on bolts/nuts should be checked periodically, and the radius between the pin and the body of the extender is the most highly stressed area. It should be protected from damage and rust.

Even though I have been manufacturing and selling these parts for more than 10 years, with zero failures, I still have a concern about liability issues.

The testing for reliability, service life etc hasnt been done ( recorded??), so if there is a serious problem that causes injury or a death then who is liable is the issue. This applies to any un-engineered mods you do to your car.

who's up for a group buy for ball extender joints?

Engineered or life tested

The parts have not been life tested on the street, as have few race car parts. That said, they are engineered. They are machined from 4140/4142, which is a through hardening steel. They are heat treated to a tensil strength of 150,000psi. In the most critical area the transition between the pin and the body, there is a 1/8" radius to spread the loads across a surface rather than concentrating them in a sharp corner or tight radius. Then to remove imperfections which could cause stress risers, the radius is polished.
