Dinasrt,
1. Thanks so much for your experience/insight. You may be onto something here.
2. I'll have to limbo under the car and measure the adjustment rod/bar but probably have the 4" length you mention.
3. "After talking w/ Donovan @ G.C., he sent me a pair of 5" rods right away". Did this require an additional payment ? Not really critical, I'd just be annoyed that what was sent isn't going to work. Donovan was VERY easy to work with.
