If the weld broke, just grind the old weld off and reweld it, or take it to a someone that KNOWS how to weld.

ya thought about rewelding but i rather put a new(good)bar in.it needs all new heim ends, bent the lower bar etc.........i would purchase UMI but no warranty and wont ship(shipping issue)to Canada.BMR offered a 10% discount but dont want to eat the shipping.thats only $50diff from full pop.also worried it might brake again but have a 2yr warranty just BS to deal with i need parts asap.

Hello
Don't me to I am just answering the statement above. We do offer a 2 year warranty and we do ship to Canada as well! Usually we ship to Canada using USPS but seeing how a K Member is a bigger product we use UPS! Pm Me your shipping address and I will get you a to your door address. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

The UMI parts have a 2 year warranty and they usually honor it pass that if the part itself failed and it wasn't something you did to break it

Welcome to the ranks of **** that fails from BMR. BMR cost me a championship when their PHB failed in 2004. This company does not know the first thing in research and developement. My emails went unanswered for a solution. My personal opinion BMR builds untested crap for the uninformed masses. Recommendation, shop elsewhere for suspension parts, if your car is putting out serious horsepower.
