during daily driving.........ok discuss........

 

weighed down with too many cleaning products?

 

no sir......and its not mine by the way...its a gentleman named kal who is a local but doesnt frequent the forums

 

Is there a warranty on there products? What does RB have to say about it? It looks like it rusted at that point, maybe a faulty piece. I still enjoy the beat and praise any shop for doing that much work with the rotary

 

Wow! Thats something you don't see everyday.

 

Has installing it upside down been ruled out?

 

Have him call them. I have found their customer service OUTSTANDING!

 

scary looking.

 

as far as i was told the part was installed properly and the break was recent....it was noticed recently and the rust just happens quick up here in the north east....he is gonna call them and try and get it all sorted out

 

thatz interesting!

 

wowsers...

 

That was my thought. It is a rear bar.

 

not sure....he brought it to the meet last night.....now for the uneducated folk what difference would it have made structurally if it was upside down or not?.....because if it was then this could show as a lesson on why orientation is important

 

the torque on the bar is happening in a way it was not designed to meet.

 

can any one tell from the way it snapped?

 

whoa!
Dare I ask how he found out it was broken?

 

he had his car up on a lift because they were taking his wheels off to be painted

 

If you search google you can see some pretty nasty pics of incorrectly installed swaybars. Endlinks bent in half, stuff snapped.

Thats what I would wager happened here.

 

That looks nasty! And my RB sways just arrived yesterday.

 

My RB endlink did snap. But that's because the shop installed it incorrectly.

 

it looks like it's been pinched at the breaking point. there should be not reason that enough load is being put on that bar to snap it like that. i have to agree that it's either a bad product or not properly installed. hey, nobody is perfect.

 

Atleast I believe the bar broke at the weakest point?

and not in the middle..

 

Hmmmmmm that is a shitty deal

 

or maybe were you drifting too hard?

 

i am more than sure racing beat will cover the problem.. there customer service is great.
