4 hole plastic column support CRG

Summary: the management guide

This support ensures the maintenance of the steering column at the frame (the "nose" of the chassis). Its high-density plastic design reduces metal friction while absorbing some of the vibrations rise from the front train.

• Fixing 4 points: Provides superior stability compared to 2-hole models, avoiding that the bearing is deformed under the stress during big turn.

• Self-lubrication: The composite material used has slip properties that limit the wear of the column axis.

- Mounting tuto: a guidance without constraint

1. Cleaning the axis: Before mounting the new bracket, clean the steering column perfectly. A trace of rust or old grease can act as an abrasive on the plastic.

2. Alignment: Present the 4 screws without tightening them. Rotate the column to check that it is centrally centered, then tighten the cross screws progressively.

3. The trick of the game: If the direction is too hard after the tightening, the support flashes the column. Use very fine wedge washers between the support and the frame to release the movement.

4. Interview: Avoid too thick fats that hold dust and sand (which would create a paste at Roder). Prefer a silicone spray or a very light tethered grease.

💡 Michel's trick

"We do not change this support quite often! The trick: Over time, the central hole is valid because of lateral efforts. If you feel a slight 'beam' in the steering wheel when you change direction, it is that the plastic is worn. My Pro Council: Nine support costs nothing three times and transforms the feeling of the front train. This is the difference between a blurred direction and a surgical direction. "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Why 4 holes rather than 2?

A: The 4 holes are better distributing the load on the frame. This avoids tearing fasteners on the chassis during a very aggressive shock or pilotage.

Q: Is it compatible with the columns of 22mm?

A: No, this support is machined for the standard CRG (usually 20mm). If you have a column of another brand, check the diameter with a slide foot.

Q: The support has melted / marked, is it normal?

A: This is the sign of excessive friction. Either your column is twisted and strength on the plastic, either you tightened the support while the column was not aligned with the lower bearing.
