Guys,
The X Factor could be installed on the center hanger. Its a 20 minute bolt on solution to lateral motion where most of this takes place since both axles terminate together at the center hangers. The X Factor bracket would provide additional stability where it most likely would not be felt in the TV.
The V Clip IMO is only needed on the rear hangers where there are some lateral loads but not as much as the center hanger. Yet the center hangers do not fail. Why do the rears fail? Spring Wrap and the majority of forces being applied in the rear hangers in the longitudinal direction after front axle rise on heavy braking. Why are most failures on the right rear? Most road patches, ruts and so on are on the right side of the road where braking while on these surfaces would add to the fatigue that takes place on rear hangers.
This is my theory and I'm sticking to it.
