Default Got the Golden Horizons servo saver!

Just got it today, very sweet!





proper design, when the "saver" kicks in the portion tied to the servo moves not the other way around like the MP setup that strikes the diff housing :roll:

it's good to have connections

trust me guys, it is worth the asking price! I have another Savage with the MP mod and this thing is much better!

It needs no shimming,

Is already bolted to the crossbar, with the MP variant you need to figure out a decent way to bolt it up to the stock or aftermarket one without having sloppy joints that add to the steering slopiness

It comes with bearings and fastners, and the crossbar - what does an aluminum setup from GPM cost? and GPM ain't adjustable

It is adjustable for tension, not a big deal you say? well at least you will never have to strip down the truck to shim up the spring to get back the tension just twist the collar

It has the proper geometry, so you don't have to "notch" anything to get maximum left - right radius, sometimes a problem for those who seek increased turning radius

And the really big plus is the fact that the crossbar is not forced down when the "saver" operates, because the part that moves is connected to the servo arm so that hits nothing


By far this is the best solution for the sad stock Savage setup

So... is this part available to the public yet? You said you bought it at the GH store. I'm confused.
