Thats what it looks like. Maybe put some more pics up. It is weird for sure. I have a strange 12 bolt w/ spohns mounting hardware, & everything was tight.

Well talked w/ Steve Spohn today, sending me a new replacement piece site unseen. That is pretty cool, nice to do that.
Have to keep a close eye on this thing suspension wise I think.

im glad they stand behind their products, one reason i went with them for mine.
im still curious to why it broke, i dont think its because of a bad design or weak material, but something else.

are you sending your broken one back to him for evaluation?

if you dont send it to him, send it to me (ill pay for shipping ofcoarse).

No Steve didn't seem to interested in it??
I was wanting to keep it for a trophy & or reminder.
I can post up some more detailed pics of it if you want .
I have to compair this tube section w/ the replacement piece I'm being sent. It looks like the section stretched & fractured.
It must have been some freak thing. I put the stock arm & stock driveshaft in it w/ a crossover u-joint & the car drives.
