Torque Link

I don't post often. I recently bought the torque link from NWP, Aaron.

The main reason why I bought it is b/c I'm still dealing with my lower radiator support. As you know the lower radiator support rusts, but I decided to change mine around this time last year with that cheap stuff from ebay. I tried painting it but that wasn't enough to prevent rust. Though, I believe the metal completely sheared due to poly motor mounts and too much engine torque.

Well now the beam is not even connected to the lower radiator support. The engine sags maybe 3 inches.

Back to the torque link. I put it on to provide some stiffness before I can find the money to replaced the lower rad. support. For the first time in over 12 months the shifting feels so much smoother. The engine really feel like it doesn't move as much as before. I'm feeling the wheel vibrate a little again which also gives me some comfort that the engine is held in place much better.

Overall, its a great product. I'm sure it would be better once I get other parts fixed.

A must purchase if you want to less engine rocking.
