Message	I think they suffer the same design issue as all the Midori style copies (PT et al). The natural suspension forces and the sheer weight of the car will cause the arms to start to pivot on the threaded section. The stock arm is not "I" shaped for a reason, the narrow adjustment point on these type of arms focuses ALL the twisting forces onto it. The factory arm is stronger than shit for a reason...
