Bent rods bend easier than straight rods. I know someone will have a situation that used a bent rod and it worked for 100,000 miles, but I have never seen one. The rod should also be as short as possible. If it needs to be longer because of relocating the MC; the rod diameter needs to be larger than stock for added stiffness. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 615 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 615 |
