I disabled it on purpose Brad. You have been sneaking those little trips into Florida too many times for comfort.

I know, I've read all the expert opinions too about how you should never run a tubular axle with hairpins, but no one I have ever known or heard about actually had one snap in half from over twisting over time. There are a zillion T buckets and similar cars running around with that setup, many of them from kit builders. Same goes for the old thing of hydrogen embrittlement from chroming suspension pieces and not heat treating them to some mil spec thingie. You can bet your bottom dollar none of the companies selling chrome axles, springs, steering arms, etc have taken the time to do that process.
It's good to be informed and aware, but if we listened to all the articles and stuff from experts none of us would ever get out of our Lazy Boy recliners....way too dangerous out there.
