Destiny have introduced an aluminium steering rack support for the RX-10SR touring car. The alloy brace mounts below the steering ball races, slightly clamping the steering slider to ensure greater durability in the event of a crash as under certain conditions the rail was prone becoming misaligned and even disconnecting at all from the bearings. The support is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes grey anodised for wear and looks.
