Default RCX dual steering stabilizer

was out the other day,high speed run on one of my favorite gravel roads in the foot hills of the rocky mountains,hit some heavy washboards,then steering locked up in the straight position.regained control,pulled over,found that diff side mount for RCX stabilizer had come loose and rolled into tie rod,locking my steering.NOT a "ding" against RCX just a reminder to keep tabs on and check torque on the mods we install on our jeeps,this could have been a serious accident.I will be welding RCX center mount to diff housing in near future to prevent this happening again

don not get me wrong not knocking RCX or saying unsafe,I have found more than one mod i have installed has caused a problem on my jeep somewhere along the line.I just think it would be a good idea to tack weld the bracket to axel tube to prevent any possibility of "rolling" into the tie rod and post just a reminder to get under your jeep on a regular basis to keep an eye on things(i got lazy and wound up in the "ditch")
