Installed this kit along with a PSC hydro assist kit the day before I was to leave for a wheeling trip. Was really surprised just how much weight difference there was with the factory steering kit compared to this! Second day out wheeling, slipped off a rock and the tie rod took a good hit and and bent right back into shape and had zero issues with driving it on the road afterwards. Put a good scuff mark on the bar but that’s the only damage it took! This kit along with the hydro assist took ALL of the steering wheel shimmy I had going in. Very happy with the kit and highly recommend it to anyone!
