These balls are very slightly larger diameter than the stock Corally balls, 6.74mm vs 6.71mm and so have less slop. Also I like that they use a screw and nylock nut instead of an easily stripped socket in the ball and they make taking the whole steering assembly out easier becase it's faster to disconnect the steering links from the wheels.

The ball on the steering rack side needs a 3x6x1mm shim under it to match the height of the stock ball to prevent interference, the ball on the wheel side does not need this. The screw needs to be 18mm long.

EDIT They also allow for slightly wider range of motion before the ball binds on the link which can slightly increase steering range at high suspension droop. On my Asuga I still have to raise the droop by about 1CM but I was able to increase the steering servo range from 60% left/right to 65% left right.

The link is not working for me. Are trying to reference Tekno part TKR8052?
