What should be checked during installation?

Verify thread engagement and correct thread direction, confirm tie rod length matches the original, and ensure ball ends are seated flush to avoid preload on joints.

Any recommended torque or locking method?

Use light to medium threadlocker where vibration is a concern and tighten to a torque that secures joints without deforming plastic steering components.

How does spring steel affect handling versus stock links?

Increased stiffness reduces flex under load, translating to more immediate steering response and more predictable corner entry for tuned setups.
