ok, i went threw all the forums and it also has me thinking but that wont stop me from seeing what happens. have you personally had any problems? once it gets decent out and above 40 degrees i`m going to give them a shot and if i think they are junk it will be posted as junk. if not then so be it. my oem tie rods bent fairly easy when i was tossed into the trees but my concern is the threads.
