another offroad day, first time on an AA truck

Afternoon evening all

Today me and me and be dad went to muddy bottom, I have been there once before and loved it. We had a great time, cleaned off the mud at he end of the day using the wash that was provided and set our way for home. On leaving the site I always like to check my brakes, if I am going on the motorway I just like to know what conditions there in before having to need them.

Anyway, brakes on, sounded like the 2 fronts locked up so I.quickly took my foot off the brake, but then it pulled to the right almost off the road. Looked out of my window and checked to see if they turning thought he brakes were locked, nope wheels moving, as I M paranoid at these things jumped out to have look....

Hang on, why are my wheels pointing In 2 directions. Anyway on my way home now in the back of n aa truck.

This is the second time I have done this, is it me or is there something I can do to stop the...I believe its the track rod, the bit that align your wheels, has a nice big v in it.

Aare the solid poles allot stronger, I have have hurd of a guard that goes on the back of the diff that stops the movement in the track rod, do these work?


Any input would be grate, even if its slating a junior offroader I will wak some pics up when home.
