It is the bolt that holds the axle brace in place on the upper C. I just made a set of small carbon fiber links to go from the knuckle to the axle brace bolt.

I've always wanted to try that set up, why don't you send it to me? PM me and we'll work something out.

I think the regular set up actually gives more steering, but the BTA is better at not catching on the rocks.

This was the simplist way I could figure out to do it without having to cut new links, Its held so far and I don't think it will budge.


I run massive tires and was having steering issues so I just pulled my lower front links off and threw in some washers to push it out, worked good.
