haha ive seen z links work,sure they are sketchy but they held up. muz yours was a shit house weak example of one nothing more it was as poorly done as the rest of that rig,your right never again it shouldnt have been on the road lol but if it was braced up and bush only then it woulda been ok in your basher. and i remember towing you with that tie down point so stop telling lies haha. OP do you drive your rig on the road?if so yeah do it proper may lead to heartache otherwise if all you have for now is the NT diffs you could get the histeer setup still and make up shorter arms?keeping the right ones for if you come across WT's. ive had a few mates with spoa zuks,some were ridiculous tall floppy things,others were well thought out and seemed to work well.BUT i still like my spua zuks does anyone still do the old mercedes arm trick?
