    Don’t listen to this man. Factor 55 is four miles from where I am now. The extreme duty shackle doesn’t spin freely on the retention pulley effectively increasing the load. The standard shackle is “self” lubricating and is designed to work with the pulley. A soft shackle works because it’s under a load and in a dynamic pull recovery by definition has slack in it and if a soft shackle could ever come undone it would be when it is slack.

    Your comments about the fatigue are well thought. It's very easy to get tunnel vision and make hasty moves when really the best thing is to focus on reality: it's not your car. It's not an emergency. The car is already ripped up. Hard to toss in the towel for the night, but oftentimes it's best just to stop and pick up in the morning when you get late into the night.

If it starts to go offline input the required steering lock then briefly get of the brakes to allow the front wheels to turn and steer you back online. Then straighten the wheels and get onto the brakes again. Repeat as needed and hope.

    Theoretically, lowering the friction in the suspension linkage, which acts as damping, should allow the shocks to work better because the damping curve will be more linear. But a lot of these vehicles are designed for the bushing to flex, so you don't want a PU bushing there. In my bike I have cartridge bearings and there's almost zero friction.
