I am not on here much, as honestly I am fed-up and disgusted with my VX. That aside, I wanted to share my recent, and very pleasant experience with independent 4x. I bought their beefed up tie-rod kit to replace my seized and then broken tie-rods. The product is of exceptional quality, and their staff was friendly and helpful. they were honest and saved me both time and money on shipping. I can email a side by side pic illustrating their product.(forgot how to post pics here) Also of note, even the joints have both a inner rubber bladder and an outer polyurethane boot seal. Again, this is a great product. At least now there is 1 good thing on my VX.
