Re: Bent Brake Push Rod

so we figured it out. several people have posted above about the mediocre brake rod.

probbaly was pulling into the stall, hit the brakes probbaly didnt know what its like to dirve a 3 ton brick, so really slammed the brakes, rod bent truck hit the rack.
The kids told the hsop owner they were pushing it.
It'll get fixed, sucks, but at least they are ownign up to it.
Things happen all the time.
At least no one got hurt, and the truck can be fixed..

Re: Bent Brake Push Rod

On this subject. I looked on line for different brake rods (I just replaced mine). All of them look like junk. Does anyone have a source for a quality set up?
