After TC correcting my centerlink I finally got around to getting it installed. So I figured I'd give a little review on how I like it.

Well first thing I noticed is the steering is nice and stiff and very responsive. It turns when I want it to. Unlike the Crapmini.. I say it feels alot better than the first day I put the Calmini on also.

So if you have the cash, then I suggest getting this kit..;)

Well they sent out the new as you guys know, but I still had to grind down the diff mount a slight bit.

I'm also getting a little contact from one of the bolts on the tie-rods against the sway bar. but I think that's due to the sway bar bushings being so bad that the bar sits incorrectly. No big deal though on that seeing it'll only touch when the steering wheel is at full turn towards the left.

besides the clearance issue on the diff mount everything fit exceptionally well. Def. an awesome setup. Thanks shmittey for coming by and helping out with the brake/ bearing work. Gene that Todco lube I gave you would probably work great on the heim joints and pitman/ idler arm joints.

I checked the fleetpride website and they have a location in Cranston. I would give them a call to see if they stock cans of the spray lube, they probably do since they are a Todco distributor. Worst case scenario, I could grab some up here where I get them and pass them on to you.
