Factory Pro FP-O-XCP039R: Graphite steering block plate for Xray X4'26 front end

Material purpose and build reasoning

The FP-O-XCP039R steering block plate is made in graphite to keep the front-end weight low while holding dimensional accuracy on the Xray X4'26. It functions as a direct structural replacement that resists the extra flex you can see from softer alternatives, helping maintain consistent steering response under load.

Chassis integration notes

The plate fits the X4'26 front steering assembly and provides the mounting surface for the upright and steering linkages. Its shape follows the OEM mounting pattern and preserves the original stack height and alignment so it installs cleanly during routine servicing or part swaps.

Key mechanical behaviour

Graphite delivers a stiff yet light component that reduces torsional distortion around bearing and pin locations. This helps the front end keep toe and camber reference when subjected to steering loads, since the plate is intended as a structural support rather than a damping element.

Who should use this part

Designed as a direct replacement for Xray X4'26 owners, the plate targets hobbyists and club racers who want to retain factory geometry and material characteristics in their front assemblies. Restorers and collectors looking for consistent long term fit will also value the graphite reproduction.

Service life and maintenance

Graphite resists creep and helps preserve recommended fastener torque through multiple service cycles. This item is supplied as a durable spare to retain the front steering reference plane rather than a high-turnover wear item.

This FP-O-XCP039R graphite steering block plate is a precise front-right replacement for the Xray X4'26, aimed at users who prioritise stable steering geometry and material consistency.

This plate is specified for the Xray X4'26 front steering assembly; earlier X4 variants may differ in mounting points or stack height, so check measurements before assuming compatibility.
Graphite is lighter and resists permanent deformation, offering a stiffer feel in the steering reference plane while avoiding the weight penalty of metal alternatives.
No machining should be necessary if the plate is used with the X4'26 front assembly as specified; it is shaped to match OEM mounting locations and stack dimensions.
Follow the chassis manufacturer's recommended torque specs; graphite maintains those torque windows well but avoid over-tightening which can damage the material.
