Formula Dynamics - Tie rod

[LDM 3200]

Has anyone fitted these or had any experience of them.
I am thinking of ordering some for the 3200.

Yes, fitted them yesterday, mine were not too bad to do, but some people have had a bit of a nightmare with seized bolts

Designed and engineered by the esteemed Craig Waterman of this parish. To be widley recommended (although it can be a bit of a pig to get the old ones out)

Hare they a real benefit over original fit?

Yes, read this http://craig-waterman.com/?p=203

I had them fitted on mine by a local garage and had the toe in/out alignment done at the same time with Hunter, it was a couple of hours labour. The rear feels a lot more connected imo but that is switching from ones with play in them.

Autofficina who told me the old ones were knackered later complemented Craig's part and asked where I got them from.

If its just the bearings are shot you can replace only these -SKF GE15C.

Yes, you don't have to buy the entire arm for the bearings wearing out. And they're better quality bearings.

Maserati won't sell the tie rods alone

Thanks for that, will put on the list

Cheers will probably go for them.

I have a set of Craigs tie rods that I purchased for the Spyder but never got round to fitting. As the Spyder is now sold I am happy to sell the tie rods separately to a forum member if some one wants them

 

[LDM 3200]

Hi are they complete and how much do you want for them?
I assume they are the same for the 3200?

I got a set from Craig when he advertised them. When I had them fitted they required modification. Can't remember exactly what the issue was but required pressing out and a few mm cut off a tube. Told Craig who said he was aware of the problem and I understand later ones were modified. Just to be aware in case you had early ones as well.
Worked perfectly once modified.
