Just a quick question, has anybody had a towball fracture? Does anybody replace the ball after a number of K's or laps? The question came up the other night at a BBQ and nobody had really thought about it. The towball cops a fair bit stress and would be one of the cheaper parts of the tow setup. Hendo
