It is rare that someone attemping to sell something doesn't try to sound like a heck of a guy on the phone.

drag link and /or tie rods for what is probably one of the most common vehicles on the road in this country. are not very expensive or hard to replace.
Sure GL should know that their bubba is a moron, but...
Here in Michigan, My 16,000lb M36A2 is not restricted by the MDOT frost laws.
The most weight is on the two front tires, yet it is still within the frost law limits.
The limits are tighter on the steering axle due to the forces generated when turning corners.
on another note, my pad in front...
