Mikey there is one thing you may be leaving out, as your Experience with building aircraft, and mine, being I only have 15 years in aircraft, I gigged,tested , hung, built airframe, hydraulics, and building and testing the trucks, all on the C-5 A's built, you and I both know what we're looking for in parts, the best we can find at the best price. the reason I am testing Rudy's parts is because I am on the drag strip a lot, the one thing that I will not test is a sideways hit but I tested that with a sledgehammer, Rudy laughed,, I think the links by the manufacturer will brake at,, i think it was about one ton of sideways pressure and this may save your car. now what will the ebay parts brake at it will brake before your car brakes.
with the ebay special,, if you hit a curb ( sideways) what will break?the link, the bracket that holds the link, or will it rip the underbody out of your car . This is a hard test for me to do, but, I am sure the aftermarket parts that you're talking about buying and putting together have not been tested for side impact. I have run the rear links now for a few months and they are great.( I did have one nut come off , and my drivers rear wheel moved foward every time i took off, I am replacing all my nuts and bolts,as my nuts and bolts have been off and on about 20 times so i think i need new ones now, the locking part of the nut was no longer locking,,, So Mikey with your experience, do you think you should buy Rudy's . jim
