A friend and I were coming back from a shake down cruise to the coast last Sunday (Half Moon Bay, CA) prepatory to Hot August nights in Reno. So after a great day, with lunch of oysters and streamed clams, we headed home (Livermore, CA). About 20 miles from home, the sway bar link came free of the front tubular sway bar right side and pole vaulted into the right front inner tie rod assembly and bent the tie rod, sheared the bumpsteer sleeve and bent the lower control arm drag link connector. Luckily we weren't going all that fast and I got the car off the road with out barrel rolling it. The Dart has a Magnum Force front end, so Monday I Called Magnum Force to ask for their help in obtaining a replacement bumpsteer sleeve so I could fix the car. I was asked for pictures so I sent 2 or 3. I didn't get a response so I called MF. I was told "we never sold a part like that". Interesting, because the person who told me that was the person who loaded the front end K member tubular front end in my pick up when I bought it. The person refused to help and hung up on me. Twenty two hours of Internet time later I found a what appears to be a replacement sleeve from RaceCraft.
So my weekend at Reno Hot August Night are done. So is the $1100.00 in hotel and registration fees I paid.
SO IF ANYONE ASKS THE QUESTION MAGNUM FORCE OR RMS ALTERKATION, you should opt for RMS, because Magnum Force will not be there for you if you need help. In fact they don't seem to give a ****. And I don't know anyone at RMS never talked them, but I sure wish I had. Put more simply, "stay away from Magnum Force".
