I would question the quality and safety of such a critical part like that- not so sure I would feel comfortable using the same part again? Why not use the stock links with shims if needed?

Kuah - had one left disassembled on display. He put it together for me and gave me a break on the $$ w/ shipping.

What he did say is that with a lowered suspension that maybe the bump stop was not working and the cat was stopping on the control arm instead.Which would be the cause of my problem.

Will have the part on tuesday, car in the shop on wed, thurs or friday.

Will drop some pics of busted arm...James
