i hope you've done your research. %95 of all traction bars out there are built wrong.

Nice motivation!!!! Since you know exactly how they should be, you should start building them.

I usually go out of my way to explain how to build one of these ------- things correctly in threads like these, only to see the poster go ahead and make it wrong. ------- the suspension geometry on one of these can be VERY detrimental to your car. NM though steve, I don't know anything because I'm not building them myself

If you tried to explain exactly what evosol might be able to improve upon that would be one thing, but to just come out and claim that 95% of all of them are built wrond would imply that you know something everyone else doesn't, and I'm still waiting for that part.

Yeah, you've posted that 3493898308350983 times now. I can't believe we are all still dummies. :P

You line the connection up on the traction bar with where it meets the lca joint, blah, blah. Why are we all still stupid?

"we all"?

Because I have yet to see someone do a DIY one correctly. And I've only posted that once.

And evosol hasn't even gotten to the point where he's mounting the tie rods, so how can you come in here and start acting like he's doing it wrong?
If you're really concerned just post that same thing you just posted and remind him that that's how it should be done. You act like you've giving up on helping because everyone is so mentally inferior. :P
