I was going to mount my EMPI camber compensator on the truck, but I have questions about the hardware. This version mounts to horn, not trans by the way. Red one in this pic

The rubber bushing and attachment bolt just seem small for the stresses involved. Or is it merely a cushion that mostly sees up/down?

I think it's just a rubber interface to hold the 2 things together - it doesn't touch anything on the vehicle and I don't think the bolt is under much stress.

I've had a few of those and I don't recall the bolt ever being bent or anything

The bushing gets worn out though

Thanks Everett; the bolt on one saddle I have was bent, but it was far longer so might have had some things bump into it. Will try it out this weekend.
