Does the rod resist bending under heavy use?

The 4140 carbon steel shaft combined with 7075 ends increases resistance to bending compared with stock components, improving longevity during rough driving.

Can I run this on-road and off-road?

Yes, it is suitable for mixed use; adjust length and toe to match your tyre choice and driving surface for predictable steering.
