Savage Turnbuckles(Tie Rods). Where to get an upgrade?
Yesterday I was showing off my Savage and I was jumping and the end of my left rear wheel turnbuckle popped off the ball joint. Is this a common accurance? And if so where do I get a better set? Thanks Scott.

The washer is a good idea. Mine came off during warmup right before a heat & I popped it back on. I haven't had any problems with it again but it would be nice to know that I could prevent accidental 3 wheel steering during my next race. lol

i hear integy adjustable turnbuckles are the best, all other do not fit properly, supposedly the integy ones are stronger than stock and they also made so you can adjust the tow

the washer goes between the plastic loop and where you screw the hex bolt in. this way the turnbuckle will not pop off...
