group n steering UV joint
Modified the column to take a steel group B universal joint as sold by rally design only to now find after just 500 miles or so there's wear and
I've got play in the steering, it's not at a tight angle and it's on a lightweight kit not the intended rally car as designed! Very
dissapointed I think I need to have à word with rally design for a free replacement.

They weren't interested when I emailed them about the play in mine. It had been about nine months since I bought it but it had never been
fitted. I binned it and bought one for a Ford Ka.

Rally Design have some tie in with Darren George who is the antichrist of the kitcar world, I wouldn't order anything from any company who had
even the slightest whiff of him
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Great thanks to all for the help. I'll persist for a refund and they can have it back!

Tbh i bought a fair bit of rally design stuff on the Pulse project, i think every single part has now been taken off, chucked in the bin and replaced
with better quality parts from somewhere else.
Its gone very downhill!

The ones from Motorsport tools looks identical to the one I've got from rally design?!

Thats why Im surprised its Worn ,I've used them for many years and have been happy with the quality, maybe it's a change in the
supplier/owner.

Motor Sport tools have Group 4 parts and heavy duty Group 4 parts. I fitted the heavy duty ones and I can assure you they are the business:

then I'll be going to them for that joint then, I did have à heated call with rally design this morning and as yet no refund although I'm
going to write in, they said that it was actually 13 months ago and there are so many variables as to why it could wear out, even though it's in
a light weight kit that's covered hardly any distance it doesn't matter to them, honestly I don't think they gave a crap. My point
to them will be that any product is expected to have à reasonable amount of life and thus this is not fit for purpose.
