For a cockring, the actual usage is to isolate free space movement on the front mounted cross member. Front undercarriage usually start to get loosen due to engine revving and micro vibration that resonate inside the engine bay. The freeplay that created by the loosen mountings may not be significant until like this


Those bolt that used to fasten the cross member and engines has some sort of locking mechanism at the back of the bolt head, so it will prevent the bolt from slipping off. Something like this.


The above however may not guaranteed the bolt from slipping off by millimeters. As car manufacturer tighten the bolt, they use torque wrench/airgun set to suitable weight to pump the bolt in so they don't break the bolt head, also to prevent the locking mechanism being grind away. After the bold being lock tight according to specification, after driving some time, the micro vibration will automatically counter clockwise reject the bolt out, and during the rejection the locking marks will punch on the host, hence the bolt will not continue to fall out. This, had allowed a small tolerance at the bolt on area to have micro movement. 1 might not even notice vibration noise or feeling anything shaking in the engine bay. However, when you're taking a corner, when lateral force in play, every single movable part in the engine bay will be swaying to 1 side, including the freeplay on the bolt then you'll feel the kind of numb sensation on steering wheel. So, some smart cookie took the idea of industrial lock bolt, to put a piece of ring in order to prevent the bolt from slipping AT ALL.



Ayam not here to support the product, neither do I wish to comment on the pros and cons. Just to share with you some stuff I learnt back in the older days when engine precision weren't as great as today, we do use similar tricks to fine tune our rides. Some like the harsh feeling of supreme steering feedback, some... not so.

Hi Bro... 

Me must hv been earliest dai lan ngong in here...
Had those rings installed in my FL a couple yrs ago liao...

Our Gagas are technically built up with much finer tolerances (it appears...) than others in its class..
Why is that?
Cos we need only such rings 4front subframe nia!!
Back not need like Maivee & co.,....not enuf space/gap 2manufacture a fit...

My conclusion..then & now?
Worth that small 1-time investment!
Bars... each cost more than that

Only diff is one can see the Bars but these rings work "invisibly"...
