K2 Ball sockets and ball studs

[Noob]

Can anyone give me a list of the bits needed to replace the K2's original ball sockets and ball studs front and back also for the steering linkage's, I want to use the standard parts as the k2 ones are a bit rubbish.
Or is there any sign of Schumacher replacing them with better materials as I like the idea of the sockets not being able to pop off but it's annoying having to set camber and toe after every race.
Thanks.

If you get the lunsford super duty turnbuckles then this solves the issue, plus it makes the car a lot stronger

[Noob]

Does that mean i can stick with the original sockets and studs ?

[cmgreen]

Cool thanks for the advise

Anybody got list or part numbers

[cmgreen]

If you ring mb models he has supplied my self and some other people with the ones you need.

My self I went to the standard kf2 ball cups and joints, if you want to use the schuamcher parts here are the part numbers :thumbs:

Ballstuds:

Long: U4275 x2
Short: U4274
Ultra short:U4273

Ballcups: U4704

Hope this helps

I rang mb and They were not too sure as to which Lunsford ones to use as the people who ordered them specifically asked for the correct equivalent.

I think what I need is:
4x 52mm
2x 45mm
1x 35mm

I think they are a 3.5mm thread which is the super duty range and they don't do 35mm and 45mm in that type, only in the punisher range they do but they are 3mm thread.

If anyone is interested, here is the part numbers I ordered from DMS:

L11070BC
L11064BC
L11067BC
the sizes might not be perfect but are closest you can get.

That looks right, tight fit but they work!

Are schumacher going to address this design flaw with new parts and replacement parts to people who have bought kits or are the expecting people to buy aftermarket parts to sort out the problem

What is the problem.
I've only had one go, basically the thread pushed all the way in and gave me some wicked camber, lol
But this was my fault as I crashed, really heavy. I've had more issues with piston rods breaking than the new rod ends, but again that's me pushing to hard and crashing.

They get so loose you can turn the turn buckles with your hands.
Lundsford upgrades sorted it out.

I find a drop of super glue tightens them up quite nicely
