Judging by the poor penetration of the weld (note: it essentially sits like a roll of blue tack rather than what one is used to from a solid weld) on the end of that panhard rod, and the fact that it gave up the ghost so easily I'd say Tough Dog is just as lame as the rest of the so called 'high end' kit getting around. Perhaps, where they are manufactured, they should change their name to 'Tasty Dog'?

And if they aren't in fact currently made in Chinglish, shame shame shame on the quality assurance process. It's one thing if one of the shockies spews it's self all over your underside, it's entirely another when you panhard rod tries to insert it's self in YOUR underside.

Drop down to your local engineer / fabricator and get a real one made, it's not hard to do it properly eh..

Strewth out..
