[Shotimes] Rip-Off on E-bay

[Michael S Wojton]

If a strut tower bends and stays bent, I would say you have other, much
more serious problems.  I would imagine that they may flex a small amount.
Think about how far your towers would have to move to kink the bar for
good.  Not very likely it would happen.

Good point.  My thoughts are as follows.  Since the major force that is put
on the bar is during hard cornering, if the bar bent or flexed it would most
likely stay bent, thereby screwing your alignment.  I have had my bar on for
a year now and my car tracks fine.  The bar is a well designed piece.  It is
kind of a tubular steel shaped like this:   _

I'm not a good asci picture type. : )
