Message But it is rather common for them to do so... its a design flaw in that they're easy adjustability, allows then to slip. They just have little bolts and small lock washers that crush the adjustment box. The other designs feature a twisting threaded shaft that you have lock rings for; you loosen the lock bolt on the lock ring, then twist the shaft to adjust (similar to some styles of strut bars). Each side is threaded in opposite directions, so when you turn it one way, both ends come in, or go out at the same time... There have been documented incidents of issues with this design as well, but they are far less common than the Stillen "Slip Box" design. Was a good idea, just doesn't perform well when abused (i.e. tracked, AutoX, driven hard in general).
