Have you heard any update from Justin on a redesign or have you had any more events to test the replacements out? I have another event this Sunday.

Hey Eric... The replacement part failed and Justin confirmed a couple of days ago that the new design is finished. I should have the new designed parts before or shortly after thanksgiving and my next event is 12/2. It's a 6 session track day so that should be a good test to see if they hold up. I'm accepting the new parts with a raw finish so I can get them as quickly as possible to test them before the season ends, not sure when the finished product will be ready.

I'm not sure what's going on everything is torqued down properly with Loctite. The only difference I can think of is I have BMR lowering springs or maybe there was a bad batch of metal used, not sure but very frustrating I'm tired of taking my car apart. |

I'm on BMR springs as well. So weird. I'm going to pull mine again tonight to check them out.

Last time I checked my plates they were OK, but is Moreno going to be sending replacement parts as a precaution?

I texted Justin yesterday and have not heard back yet but I know he'll get back to me eventually. He has been pretty cool to deal with. From what I understand they will be redesigning and shipping the new piece to us early adopters. I'm not sure exactly when that will be though.

Just pulled mine apart again tonight and they still look fine. It’s real easy and only takes about 30 minutes to do each side.
1) Jack car up and put the corner on a jack stand. Pull wheel 2) put jack under the rotor and jack up just a touch so you can undo the sway bar end link at the strut 3) remove the three camber adjustment bolts. You DO NOT need to remove the bolts that hold the caster adjustment and top plate to the shock tower. 4) once you have those three camber adjustment bolts lower the jack and the strut will drop far enough to see the mid plate that holds the spherical bearing. You can see it and you can also rotate the center plate around the spherical bearing and see if all. 5) If all looks good, put it back together and go to the other side. It really is pretty easy to do if you want piece of mind until the updated pieces arrive. |

I'll be doing a full inspection after laguna seca this weekend. Hoping to find everything in tact but I like the idea of a redesigned replacement if these have a weakness.
