Need some help from you large scale guys. (droop screws)

[N. Mango]

I'm in need of M5 droop screws.
Being that most of the droop screws for rigs dont mention the size of the screws that they use, I dont know if they are M5 or not.
If anyone has knowledge of M5 droop screws, could you let me know.
I appreciate your help.

Wonder if any if these might work. Didn't dig into them so not sure. Good luck!

WTF is a "droop screw"?

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

All of the droop screws I've used are typically studs with an Allen hole in the head. Is that not normal?

Whats a droop screw?

WTF is a "droop screw"?

A droop screw is a control arm travel limiting screw that prevents the arms from traveling too far downward while the suspension is unloaded, typically while jumping.

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

If the arms drop, or droop, too far then your axles may over extend and come apart, or the hub angle may be too much and the axle can rub.

so its just a screw.....

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Yes, a screw with a specific purpose. Typically goes into the lower control arms from the top side and contacts the chassis.

Ok well if its just an ordinary screw, I'm not understand what the issue is with finding some screws? Any hardware store will have M5 screws.......

Yes. There are droop screws with a smooth head to ride on the chassis wing & not 'scrape'. The hex part is in the opposite end, in the threaded side. Avid & Klinik make them & M2C, & others.
