ANYONE HAVE A DIPSTICK TUBE I CAN HAVE?!?! mine broke when removing it. :-( Neal A.

They stop flex and tear the axles apart if you jump your rig (just ask John! I got the one from his parts rig) They are to keep the back end from swaying while towing (to make GWs into Granny's grocery getter and RV trailer hauler or low rider rally cars) This electronic message transmission, including any attachments, contains information from Prescription Solutions which may be confidential or privileged.
