Message	I think the tension rod is the weak link. My tension rod snapped at the bolts on the lower control arm when the control arm bent. The bracket itself is fine. So I'd put my money on your tension rod being bent. I opted to go with adjustable rods. Why replace with stock when you can upgrade :). This means you have to do both sides, though. If you just want to do the one side and stick stock, I'd call up courtesy and see how much they want for a new one before I got a used one. If you still seem to have issues after replacing the rod, then I'd do the bracket. David
