It would be nice to see where/when it failed. The Tech who hand replaced the strut (and not notifying you) should be fired. I'd bet that its either too thin of material or material failure. Can you post a close-up pic please, (front and rear). Thanks for posting. |

Sorry, one more post. I do have one event on mine with no issues. The event was a short course track event. I had them set at -1.5* at the camber plate and an additional -1.5* at the knuckle. Zero toe.

I left the camber plates at stock height because I'm lowered also.

The bolt backed out leaving no support for the bearing housing which caused the failure. The 6mm bolts are installed with green loctite, the same loctite they use to fasten 2 piece brake rotors together. I am betting my assembler missed this bolt, which is of course on us, so i apologize for the incident, and i have a replacement on the way to TEX1LE. It would be good practice to make sure the bolts are tight and do not come out easy before install. We are doing another check on all outgoing units to make sure this does not happen again
