I have been working on swapping the stock rods off my 01 srx for the bender ones off the 98 srx. Anyone know if these are the same, because
they don't seem to be fitting.
they don't seem to be fitting.
rods
I am 99% sure they are NOT the same. the 01 srx is set up different (look at where the hole in the slide rail is compared to the 98')
In my opinion I wouldnt run the benders anyway. If you decide (and you should IMO) to add the maxx or pioneer performance(Same thing, but give Pioneer the business) long travel rear you can not use the old style bender rods. You can, but it liits what you are trying to do. the coupler adjustment doesnt allow the rear to drop out 100% and that somewhat defeats the purpose. (over coupling = harsh ride)
Now, if these are the new bender TS3 you can use them, with YOUR rods.
Hope I have helped.

the 2000+ rods are shorter

You are both right, they don't fit! I guess I will be looking for a set of transfer rods my 01 srx if anyone has a good used set. I have been happy with the bender rods but I guess there are more options now. Thanks for your help and prey for snow, lots of snow.
