    Public service announcement

    Do not buy an adjustable track bar from Heavy Metal Suspensions. This is all that's left of the frame bushing that nearly caused a crash yesterday. 70mph and the death wobble took over sending me into a ditch, when this cheap imitation disintegrated. No one was hurt, except my pockets, $500 tow bill for the 125 mile ride. And the initial $200 purchase. I've messaged Dude's to purchase a replacement.

    I'm not going to spare any expense, but only from well known manufactures.
