"When the transmission was installed, they welded (and not very well) a bracket with an eye bolt to the frame in the center under the rear of the transmission and attached the two original radius rods to that. They installed a bracket to the center differential case and ran a rod from that to a bracket they welded to the front of the right side radius rod"


Hi Chester;
Charlie makes a very good point. Not only the rotational twisting force but all of the forward force is carried by the original torque tube. Any redesign must be as strong as original to be enough to be safe and lasting.
You're right to be concerned...sounds like some re-work is in the cards for that.
