this is the 2nd time i had this happen. these are the import adjusters, 75.00 for the complete weld in adjuster with the fingers. you get what you pay for, sway-a-way sells the fingers 75.00 each (McKenzies ...there on the way)  had to work with nature to get back to camp

when I rolled at hillsville and blew my bag, we engineered up pieces of wood with ratchet straps to get my buggy back to camp.... You must've been riding with dave and steve, haha. |

Back when i wheeled a s 10 blazer I had a leaf spring break on my car trailer on the way to wellsville. So to make it home with the blazer on the trailer I jacked up the trailer, stuck a piece of firewood in between the axle and frame and ratchet strapped it all together. That was a real white knuckle ride home. I don't call that thing "The Trailer-O-Death" for nothing |

the new one looks just a little bit bigger,i bought one of these adjusters when my torsion bar slipped inside my housing,and i am going to put it in my other frame now.let us know if you have to trim these or if it goes right in just in case i have the same problem later on i say that i will and i refuse to buy anything else from latest rage.everything seems to be made alot cheaper lately and been shipped in here from china.they told me it would be 8 months before they can replace my torsion bars,and that it may be longer depending on customs letting them get there new press shipped in to china.wouldnt refund my money just an exchange and they knowed that they was bad when they put them out.so if you are thinking of buying latest rage torsion bars you may want to reconsider.chad

i see what mudmutt was talking about. the fingers are slightly larger then the imports. they wont slide into the import housing. i just have to cut then down on the mill. |
