Is your steering clunking or squeaking in turns? Are the front wheels not turning smoothly? The steering cups are the parts that allow the front wheels to pivot while supporting the vehicle's weight. When they are worn, the steering becomes imprecise, noisy, and can even lock up.
These Front Steering Cups 16101-6025 are the exact original parts installed at the factory on your SCY. They instantly restore smooth and silent steering, eliminating clunks and friction.

How do I know if my cups are worn?
If the steering clunks or squeaks in turns, if you feel play in the front wheels, or if the wheels don’t turn smoothly, the cups are probably worn. Inspect visually: cracks or deformation indicate they need to be replaced.
Should I replace both front AND rear cups?
No, the front cups (6025) and rear cups (6026) are different parts. If only the front wheels make noise, replace only the front cups. If the rear wheels also make noise, order the rear cups as well (reference 6026).
Pro tip to extend lifespan
After each session on dusty terrain, disassemble the knuckles and clean the cups. Dust and sand get embedded in the cups and accelerate wear. Regular cleaning doubles the lifespan of the cups.
