running with broken TC rods are fun! i went 2 weeks on a broken driver side TC rod bracket. Mass understeer when you try to turn, and going straight the car kept on wanting to slam into the wall. Hella fun. everyone should try it!

as for the shinny exhaust pipe thingy... i don't remember having one in that area...

It is pretty interesting driving w/ a busted TC rod. when I hit a pothole once at 65mph I didn't think twice about it until I couldn't drive the car straight. then try to brake hard and keep the car going in a straight line is quite the task
