Epic tie bar fail......

so i had a road trip this week to Chicago never ever had to many prob with my tie bar unless i was on my stock tires (it scraped on large bumps ect....) so when driving to go get some food i had to go under a bridge and it was dark and then BAMM potholes from hell prob 30 or so and then the worst part a man hole cover was sticking out for some reason ..... i will let the pics do the rest of the talking



it had to be cut off because it was so bent ......but if that thing was not there my car would prob need a new motor .... it lifted my car and protected the engine, and the bar gave a way in a good way were nothing els happened.... THANK GOD!!!!!

On the plus side, it may have kept you from banging up the oil pan or ripping off the exhaust.
