I posted in the Suspension section but was suggested to post here too..

One of my Progress rear endlinks was loose and as I tried to tighten it back up I ended stripping the nut. Long story short I dremeled the hell out of it.

But I'm here to shed some light of a cheap alternative way to make your endlink thats cheaper then even the engalls

I couldn't source the small spacers but I managed to reused my old ones off the old endlink (I'm working on sourcing them)

New vs. Old ( I killed it!)
