Tie Bar Set, adjustable, heavy duty, pair

Tie bars perform the important function of controlling the front to rear movement of the front wheels under acceleration and braking. With recent improvements in the braking components that are now available for the Mini, it is possible for the standard tie bars to flex. This reduces the stability of the car and produces a feeling that the car is wandering. The increased diameter of these heavy duty tie bars reduces this problem.

These tie bars also enable you to adjust the castor angle of the front suspension. The castor angle determines the amount of self centring of the steering. The more castor angle, the more effort is required to turn the steering wheel. 3° of castor is specified by Rover as the optimum setting.
