Heres a couple pictures of the rods, the left one was completely snapped and the right one has a hairline crack on the welds. Ill def be contacting Kinetix about it but I wanted to give people here on the forum a heads up in case they are running early production models of this product.
This one was on the left

Id like to give a big thank you to Steve at Corner 3 who caught this while doing my rear brake lines and possibly saving my life!!

THe new ones are black, and hopefully they dont crack. I had a set crack on me years ago but I was going 80mph and hit a joint on the highway when it happened. Almost lost it, drivers side rear wheel had like -7 degrees camber about to fall off. They sent new ones.
I think its fawked up they have had several cases and havent offered ALL of the customers with old traction/camber arms the newer ones...

I agree, something as dangerous as this should warrant a recall.
