Rear steering upgrade for FT9

This Factory Pro aftermarket rear steering hub plate is made for the Schumacher FT9 chassis and supplied as a pair replacement part. The plate is machined from graphite and provides a +1mm offset to shift rear steering geometry without altering major suspension pieces.

Purpose and fitment: intended to replace the FT9 stock rear steering hub plate and to mildly change the steering link geometry. The small +1mm offset is aimed at fine-tuning turn-in and rear-end steering balance during setup work.

Fitting notes: you will need to partially disassemble the rear upright to install the plates; reuse existing hardware where appropriate and check for full suspension travel clearance. After installation, verify link alignment and adjust servo endpoints as needed to keep steering movement symmetrical.

Tuning guidance: approach this as a subtle setup change, log results with short test runs, and pair the plate change with slight tyre or toe adjustments for controlled handling shifts.

Does this part require new bearings?

No bearings are normally included; the hub plate uses the upright's existing bearings and fasteners. Inspect bearings for wear and replace if needed before refitting.

How should I evaluate handling changes?

Run short back-to-back tests and note turn-in and rear traction differences. Make one change at a time so you can isolate the effect of the +1mm offset.

Will this affect suspension geometry significantly?

The offset is modest and intended for fine tuning, not major geometry shifts. Expect subtle steering and track changes rather than wholesale suspension behaviour changes.
