And here goes another thread where spohn does nothing to help out a customer when their parts fail. I am so glad I bought a midwest chassis setup. Original poster, very sorry to hear this happened to you. My buddy Tyler, stangbanger317 broke his and I had to fix his car. He got lucky it only broke the driveshaft and trq arm. The trq arm upper tube has almost no weld on it. Tgats why his broke. Look at his pics.

I have heard good things about your rear ends.
however this is a bit unprofessional isn't it? competitors shouldn't be rubbing in other competitors failures.......
I don't care how good your products are but everyone is going to have a failure, manufacture defect, material defect.

Looking at this one... looks like it maybe a similar root cause; A welding issue.
From the pics an initial assessment, the best I can do from what I see, it looks like the failure started at the end of the cross-bar weld and propagated until the tube failed.
Interesting to say the least. Pure speculation says something changed in their welding process; new welder, new filler wire, new operator, etc.

It's not a new issue.
It is only with these style torque arms.
Here is my thread when it happened to me in 05 ;
