Message	Mechies, The type of failure Greg is describing sounds more like a stress fatigue failure than a shock failure. At least the cracks would build over time, but the final failure mode may be instantaneous. Correct? Just had bushings put in 2 weeks ago, no issues yet, but no money for adjustable arms yet either. My season lasts another month at the most, so I just hope I last that long. Saving money to call Kuah... "...Downpipes own.
