Has anyone had or heard any horor stories about these type of shackle.

Just how reliable are they? Either pin closed or open

my mate had them on his zook, the only problem was when say u were climbing up a rock step, the front wheels are already up, all the load is on the back wheels. When he tried to drive up, the shackles would open out and therefore change the pinion angle of the diff and put heaps of stress on the rear uni, otherwise they work well.
