Rose Joints

[Marcos Man]

hi guys (& Gals) :)
Schumacher do things called "Rose Joints" in both short and long variety.
Could someone please explain to me what exactly these things do for a living, where they are fitted on the shock (i.e top or bottom) and how they are fitted.

Cheers chappies

They used to be used to attach the bottoms on the shocks on the old Pro Cat. I know they still do them, but am not sure what role they have on any of the current range.

Think of the TC3 bottom shock ball, then think of one with a metal ball that is M3 threaded. That is the Schumacher Rose Joint.

The only think i use them for at the moment is steering linkages on my cat, as you can use a long screw to attact them and this gives the option of lots of spacers to correct bump steer, depending on Camber change.
