The last 2 times I went out someone bent a tie rod. I'd been going over the same stuff plus some and never had a problem, I think you'll be happy with it

I have no complaints on my rustys setup, was actually like $4 ceaper than replacing all the stock stuff, and doing the ZJ upgrade. (everything on mine had play). Also the rustys only uses 2 different part number ends, one's L/H and the other R/H which I like.

I smacked a big rock last weekend with the ZJ upgrade and no damage besides a scrape mark.
