As posted earlier, parts were not aluminum. I didn't mean for this to be a "vendor bash". I am just extremely thankful I didn't crash the car.
Whats More Important! "IS"
Is, to let people know that may be using these same steering arms is, that they may have some weak design flaw issues. I dont care who the vendor is. Its not about the "Vendor"
Its about a Weak design flaw, As is,IMO and from your own experience. I would want every possible Moparts user of same said parts to "Beware" and check for the same said structure cracks for their own safety. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
I will add that the part as is could be reinforced to work safely, IMO. But taking fatigue into consideration, maybe it would be best to start from scratch/new. mike
Very good point Mike. As a matter of fact, my car has had an inherent front end vibration that very well could have unduely stressed these arms and expidited their breaking. I advise anybody using these to take the time to thoroughly inspect their steering arms for cracks, etc.
Leigh, I am undecided on the method of repair or replacement.
