Hmm, saying that, my HD tied rod and drag link could be illegal too, but it isn't welded....... :confused::confused:

Oh poop, this is getting like the tubes/vs tubeless thread and I was one of the naughty boys in that one :angel:

Correct when it turns to poo, the component/componetry has to be at fault, I stored the vehicle a mate, whom was a passenger, died in, incidently a modified range rover and the vehicle was inspected, I won't nor wish to get into the details on a public board, but having been through the details, being one that had done alot of the mods, I can attest, what I am saying has some merit

Finaly got around to getting some steel:angel:

I ended up cutting a little slot in each end for a little tack weld.
Then i siliconed it up and tomorrow i will spray it:)

And here are my new off-set/angled trailing arm bushes to suit the 3" lift.
