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
