design flaw - simple work around

19 November 2023

I picked up an old VRX Octane, it had a broken lower pull rod. Upon installing a new one, and testing the suspension, the other one snapped in exactly the same spot (at the bottom). I discovered that if the sway bar pull rods are allowed to articulate backwards, a bottom out will stress the lower pull rods. To avoid this, just attach a cable tie the right length, or elastic material, to ensure that the sway bar only ever articulates forward
