Camber Plate pulled apart...aluminum

Hit a couple of Street pot holes lately...HATE IT. Then a couple of days ago I went in a dip in the road where the suspension compressed and then completely "relaxed". The CoilOver Strut pulled the K-mac Camber Plate Center out and the Strut dropped and is resting against the inner fender...still drives but noi safe of course. Always something!!!

OMG pot holes suck.

So, the K-MAC plate just disintegrated?
Was it these?

I would get in touch with K-MAC and see if they will do anything for you. Seems like a bunch of money to have just fall apart.

Sorry to hear that, you will for sure get a explanation why that could happen.

Perhaps the Millway bearing from Sweden is worth a thought . Their BMW /MINI range is unmatched !
In Germany their agent :

Please keep everyone updated on this. I like hearing vendors/aftermarket manufactures excuses when their products fail.

Wow.

The roads up here are absolutely terrible thanks to the Canadian climate, and my Vorschlag's have taken an absolute **** kicking with no issues whatsoever.
