I'm out. It isn't a high enough priority for me right now to spend that much for a $35 savings.

The one thing I do not like about this system, is the length of the passthrough bolt on the PS knuckle...seems to me like it would be prone to breaking from the stress put on that long of a bolt.

But that is only my impression, not my real world experience.

I am doing the WJ swap so I can have a separate drag link and tie rod using 1 ton TRE's, and an OTA track bar.

they are using the bolt in double shear, which is a perfectly acceptable structural application. Effectively doubles the capacity of the bolt. It's all good.

Sometimes the complexities of your knowledge hurt my tiny Irish brain.

Yeah, I wish I had a bit of engineering knowledge. I was an ME major for like five minutes, then switched, not my strong point. Shooting, drinking, rugby, fighting, drinking, hunting, fishing, drinking, and drinking I can do.
