I have the same setup as PQ and checked mine out tonight.

Fortunately everything was nice and tight (remember those ratchet wrenches I kept talking about Chris? )


However...I did not have any paint missing off the springs from compression...granted I only have about 4k miles since install. Are you jumping your car PQ!?!?!?!

Pete, at Pedders, has gracefully offered me one he's had at the shop from early testing. So I didn't have to go buy one but I'm curious if anyone else has had a problem with this piece.

As you can see, the end link tore through the braket. Also pictured is the other side that seems to be good.

There is a split in the other side braket and I don't know if it's a crack or is it supposed to be that way?

Anyway, any feedback would be cool.




The same thing happend to me on my passenger side. Took it to the dealership and they replaced it. At first they tried to blame me and said i had hit something. But then there would have been other damage and they couldnt find any. Drivers beware check em good.

Ok. Got my new LCA and I see that the 'split' is just a deceptive looking joint in the finish. It's on the new control arm as well but the braket is still solid. Just deceiveing. When I get home I'll take both end links off. I fear I'll have to buy another LCA anyway due to the apperent beggining of failure. We'll see though.
