Does the SS have to be torqued down?

Just installed Rough Country SS kit. Works and looks awesome best $79 I've spent. And yes I definitely feel an improvement. No more bump steer.

I put a skyjacket dual on about a month ago. Was easy to install. Makes it nice and smooth offroad and turning

Buy some Kano Aero Kroil...it ain't cheap, but it's probably the best penetrating oil on the mkt. Usually carried by specialty bolt/fastener stores, occasionally hardware stores. Or you can order it here:

Went to Northridge4x4 yesterday and had an OME steering stabilzer installed yesterday, which positively noticable difference from the OEM! I also like the yellow color on it too =) I see that Bilstiens are quite popular...

Kroil is the best for sure.

You should probably remove it since it will hold water and crap. That's rougher on the shaft and seal than anything, IMO. Well, other than hitting it on a boulder...

[/QUOTE]Im going to stay away from teraflex right now. I have a set of their quick discos sitting next to me that I can't install because the bushings are too tight. I posted here, got a joke of a response from them and the guy I talked to 2 weeks ago hasn't returned my calls.[/QUOTE]

I got the same exact quicker disconnects. Drove me up a wall how the tolerences of those bushings were so tight.

Heres how we fixed the problem. Take a Table grinder put the pins that are too big in an electric drill(as if they were a drill bit). Then grind the begeesses out of them, and cool them off and test to see if they fit. We had to grind ours down quite a bit before they fit well, but now they work. If you have any questions bout it or want pictures i bet i can try and get you some. Those DiscC are rediculous, but once i got them to work i am very pleased with them.

Also I replaced my smashed to heck Stock SS with a Bilstien, I could see a difference it was nice. But I just recently put a HUGE dent in that one too... need to relocate it badly...
