New heavy duty trackrod and steering damper fitted

Fitted a heavy duty trackrod yesterday and added an Old Man Emu steering damper this morning. This thing looks indestructible  :D Not like the bent one I took off. What do you think...

...I'll be fitting the new draglink when I get chance.
Cheers

Actually in that picture I can see why it failed the MOT.

i've had a similar problem with my Anti-roll bar mounts, i crushed one of the rear ones at christmas..

any ideas on beefing them up a bit?

sorry to hi-jack your thread... i've just fitted one of those track rods, after bending my original one.. i reckon they're almost indestructable!!!

I'd suggest welding a plate across the open face that you least want to be able to reach through, like say the inner, close the box so to speak.
