Default The bar itself?

I would think h-sport would replace it if the bar cracked.

they never heard of it.They heard of Neuspeed braking but not H-Sports.They want a picture and then they will send me a replacement.I'll post one as soon as I get it.

Default At least it's just some labor time. I don't even think I'd blame this on Hotchkis,

I'd be more inclined to say it was within the barstock itself. Makes me wonder if there may be a few more, as in maybe the lot of bars, but it could just as easily be just the one.

Maybe all that torque from the big V8 )

Default I think it's a fluke.If it was a real problem we would've heard more people

having problems.It seems I always have the vehicle with unique problems.

when there is a flaw in the cycle.
