Recently had all the steering changed, and the Crown heavy duty kit was twice as heavy as the Currie one i had fitted previously. The Currie one lasted two years and was giving me Death Wobble, since the new Crown one its all sweet. However I know the Aussies do some HD stuff but shipping is a bitch

Try www.ironman4x4fab.com (http://www.ironman4x4fab.com) Andy should have something in stock either in Steel or 7076 solid aluminium bar and he is happy to send via UPS.
