I found this video to be eye opening. No wonder they wear out.

Yea cool. Although driving (and that fast too) on rough surfaces is a big no no for LS.

Ah it's fine. They can take it.....least mine does just fine. It sees 100+ around 3-4 times a drive and at least one turn that gets it rotating. All you are seeing in the video is the geometry working perfectly as intended to keep the wheel flat to the road at all times. It's brilliant seeing a double joint multi link work since every arm has the perfect arc and isn't limited to only one direction.

Worst that can happen is you need to replace parts......totally worth it considering what you get
