DesertRAT:

"One comment in defense of ClimberRn...his setup has been on since late February, and was reconfigured about 6 weeks ago to the current design. It's not fair to put him in the same category as SLR, as he had an independent shop help him make his and he's not making any money on the deal; he's just like me - tired of trashing the stock stuff, and he's looking for something better. I commend him for coming up with something on his own...that's better than 99% of people, who mostly just complain about what they already have and expect someone else to come to the rescue so they can be overcritical about those parts and their pricing and complain about that too. Joel wheels his X harder than most, so I would definitely call what he's doing "testing". Yes, he's not jumping trucks; an individual doesn't have the budget to go out and potentially destroy his rig like a well known and established parts manufacturer can, but he is wheeling it on a regular basis and putting it through a variety of conditions. Will the heims hold up over the long run? Hard telling; that's why he's reporting back every so often to keep us informed in case anyone else wants to borrow his design and make their own."

I was not putting down Joel in any way, and I apologize to Joel & the Nissan community if my post was interpreted in the wrong way.

I was simply questioning what type of material his system is using. DOM or 4130?

I was a little irritated at the fact that xoc posted photos of SLR's Stage 5 steering system on 4x4part's message board without my consent, even after I was very clear when I told him that it was for his eyes only.

"The design isn't exactly revolutionary.."

Please point out another suspension component manufacturer that is using 2 spherical bearings on each pivot and post the results here.

SLR will apply credit to customers' cards if the parts are in good condition. The pitman arm, in most cases, will receive a $75.00 credit due to the fact that there are no wear points. If the splines are damaged or there has been abuse to the taper or arm itself, we will adjust the price accordingly or refuse your core. The idler arm is a different story. With a worn out centerlink, the idler takes quite a beating. There are wear points on the idler.

• Bracket the bolts to frame--sometimes bends or cracks
  
• Delrin bushing the idler pivots on--we have a new bushing to put in place of the OE Delrin

Your core cost will be adjusted according to your idler's condition and again if there is any sign of abuse to the idler itself.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions on any SLR product at 928.667.4757 or info@spencerlowracing.com. Thanks for the interest.
