compared to mine, there dont look like there is much support, maybe contact the company and see what kind of metal it is n maybe what grade, if quality is good then weld it on

Iv had them before, I never had any problems but I was always worried about the radius rods breaking. I ended up welding the traction bars to the frame rails because the bolts that hold them in would back out from time to time.

i dont know what kind it is got it from a friend, but mine has more support, not only the 3 bolts on each side but 2 big bolts underneath that bolt up under the sides of the radiator, but ive heard bout the ebay ones, they are better than nothin, but i would shop around before you got that one, or weld it on.

I would steer clear. Remember that those radius rods are an integral part of the suspension on our cars. You're basically ****ed if one fails.

never tried that one, but from my experience you should spend more money and get a better bar. lots of options out there.

you guys saying that they usually break,what part of them break?Mounting points?Radius arms?Bolts?Bar itself? Just wondering if i can buy them but fix the problem with the breakage.It would still come out cheaper then a 300 traction bar.

unless it breaks while you're on the road!
buy a good used one or spend the money and be safe.
