i remember at least one, if not more people having this problem.....

maybe that's why they were redesigned a half dozen times and finally discontinued

lmao they put those cross braces or what not there to make the joint stronger but then it goes and snaps right where they end haha. How come they never got those right? The stock ones never break. Its like impossible to make a different set?

How Long did you have them on the car? Can you post some pics of how they broke? Did you have a front sway bar installed?


Ive had mine installed for about a month and a half or two months now and no problems yet, i really like the way they tighten up the car, major differance over the stock arms.


I think the problemm is the stock arms are designed to flex alittle and the RK arms dont flex at all, i also think the other problem is with the front sway bar, it puts alot of stress on the arm and that casues it to break.

I have no sway bars and am going to leave it like that for awhile and see how the arms do, i check them atleast once a week or so and all is good so far.
