my snapped ebay tension rods

a few months ago one of the tension rods i purchased from ebay snapped as i went over a speed bump, luckily i was going slow and i was only a few minutes from my house. they had been on the car for about 6 month before it snapped. didnt realise until today how poor they actually were. today i got my delivery of new powertrix ones and as you will see from the pics they are alot bigger in diameter plus the overall quality is much better, thought i should post this incase anyone else has these just as a warning to them, also i know i shouldnt have went for the cheap option in the first place but hey you learn from your mistakes at least it didnt prove to costly

 

after it snapped i had to use a bit of metal tubing to patch it up to get home lol

    Powertrix rock! I have them. Everyone I know who has them rates them (apart from Silverbullet) and they are track tested to destruction (or rather not) in the US.

    btw from those first pics it looks as though powertrix have changed their design once again lol.

    That's right - they are always looking for improvements to the design! :) Last I checked Powertrix is also developing a new "Pro-competition" line of suspension parts. Should be even higher spec than their other parts!
