i bought a cheaper one a while ago and wouldnt get the same brand one again, eyes were not welded square and then the upper eye flogged out and the bush started clunking and sliding around, you could nock one up fairly easy if you can get a piece of pipe bent and use 2 old eyes, or buy a decent one from say superior etc, i now run adlustable uppers

what u mean by not welded square they are ment to be on a slight angle as the mounts arent straight so the offset eyes keeps the bushes straight.. maybe you put them in back to front..

basically i pulled the arm out and the bushes were warped and twisted, not running strait, i thought the upper arms were strait and only the lowers had offset eyes, as well as that i had to clean it up before i put it in, covered in weld spatter, and the eyes were not seamless tube as id expect them to be, just poor workmanship
