Secures the retaining insert in the quick release.
Suspension hardware is standardised across every point on the car: NAS-620x National Aerospace Standard bolts, MS21042-x Military Standard jet nuts, and FK alloy steel rod ends. Bolt size at every joint is determined against shear yield and axial yield with a minimum factor of safety of 1.8, and minimum torque is calculated from the required clamping force rather than taken from a table.
No part-specific design process is documented. The Steering subsystem design process applies: 1. Kinematics sets steering geometry, Ackermann targets and rack travel. 2. Size the column and shafts for torsional stiffness and for the bearing housing that supports them. 3. Calculate static steering force from the tire and geometry, and check it against anthropometric limits. 4. Design the wheel shell around the button and switch layout and the dash sightline; prototype grips and take driver feedback. 5. Validate steering effort and Ackermann on track, using the alternate tie rod mounts to sweep setups.
