Superior Rock Rod 4140 Comp Spec

SUPERIOR ROCK ROD 4140 COMP SPEC

Don't Get Bitten By Purchasing A Lower Quality Steering Rod On The Market.

At Superior Engineering we use 35mm OD 4140 Solid High tensile steel for our Comp Spec steering rods, while other manufactures only use 30-33mm steel or smaller and in many cases they only use bright mild or just plain mild steel.

Also some of the other brands of steering rods have a machined flat section for adjustment, this is not needed and only makes the rods weaker in that area by minimising the overall thickness of the bar. A simple pair of Vise Grips or stilsens is all that is needed to properly hold a Superior Rock Rod when fitting to your vehicle.

Superior Engineering 4140 rock rods only use top quality Tie rod ends on both the Drag Link and the Tie Rod Assemblies. We always try and supply the greasable style ends but on occasions we may supply pre greased Tie Rods ends depending on the availability.

On all our Tie rod ends

we can supply spare rubber boots if needed... if in the unfortunate scenario a boot is torn. Female Tie Rod ends are commonly used on most of our Nissan 4140 Rock rods and Male Threaded Tie Rod ends are always used for the Toyota range. Other brands will depend on the factory style ends. All Superior Engineering Rock Rods are CNC machined to ensure complete accuracy in the threads to keep within the stringent tolerances that all steering parts need to comply to.

Once the rods are machined, they are shipped of to a facility that coates them in a solution that is referred to as SA5 Zinc coating. This gives maximum protection against the elements such as dirt and water to help keep the appearance and quality of the product. SA5 is extremely resistant to corrosion making it a better coating to apply than paint or powder coating.

At Superior Engineering when you purchase your Rock Rod you can be assured that you will receive a damper bracket if required. Most other manufacturers charge an additional fee if a damper bracket is required. We only use quality steel that wont bend and just like our Rock Rods the damper brackets are SA5 Coated for maximum rust Prevention.
