I read KSP's installation instructions, and it states the adjustable end of the traction bars are located on the rear axle of the vehicle. Did they recently change the orientation, or did you purposely install yours backwards?
So not sure how long you’ve had these on but I’m curious how the riv nuts are holding up. I feel like they wouldn’t be strong enough and would eventually fail.
They aren’t normal riv nuts these are threaded riv nuts that squash between the frame and you thread a bolt into them so they won’t fail unless the bracket ksp provided snaps
