lol, Kev, I haven't bent them as visibly as that lol, I too went from stock link pins to the nolathane link pin bushes which lasted a while, but, again, the bush split and link pin failed... Thats why I now have the whiteline race version of the link pin... It removes the bushing and transfers the 'feel' into the steering wheel.. it makes it feel so much tighter in the front... I gotta get the lateral locks fitted to stop the swaybar moving though...
I think I have a spare heavyduty superpro linkpin kit here that didn't fit my vx, I would sell it to you cheap but Im afraid it may not fix your problem..

what the hell hit you hit pete to bend the pin like that, thats crazy.
i think there might be an underlying problem if it keeps bending the link pins.

well seems to be braking a fork load more better now, although i have a funny juttering feeling in the brake pedal when i brake, might be up for a new booster or master :rolleyes:

Hey Pete,
Just a thought.
