Bored looking at old posts. Am I the only one that sees why his arm cracked? Look at the angle he has the shocks mounted at, he is literally trying to rip the trailing arm off with them. :roll:

Someone needs to show this guy how to set up a rear suspension. A shock mounted with one mounting tab at that. The failure shown has a lot to do with the items listed in posts above. Just like the latest rage stuff. Always stiffen the area under and around shock mounts especially if your not going to run a limit strap.
