well that bumped!

But seriously thanks for all the updates and straight forward info - hope we can keep this more than civil and continue to work together towards the common goal we share as RL'ers, while respecting each others opinions and experiences which may vary for countless reasons, some known and many unknown/knowable.

Like many upgrades the option is mine alone and if I'm not sure or can't take the risk of one, then I shouldn't entertain the idea ... or maybe it is just an idea which entertains like all those build threads!

Either way others' experiences pro & con only help me weigh the risks and decide - so thanks for those and I respect them all. I just need to decide on the most cost effective/safe/fast way forward (although I can usually only have 2 of those 3 options in each mod ... so cheap and safe is likely not fast etc)

The 'loose' feeling on your car is a wrong alignment ,
nothing to do with Chris Walrod's or not
.. or it could be worn oem or other bushings right?
which would also make correct alignment harder to achieve and less effective, right?

Bill,
I am aware of the pro/con's, so I was looking to get your analysis/data on the real-world performance of these particular 2 sets you had the opportunity to remove.

Can you comment on what exactly caused you to label these particular parts "junk"? Can you direct me to it in the picture you posted? Looseness, cracks, failure to hold an alignment, etc?

Thanks!

Bill,
Would love some sort of feedback....
