I bought wicked tuning camber arms back in december, and have had them installed since with zero problems. so today i was driving from phoenix to san diego, and i stopped for gas then went to a wal mart, as i was pulling out of the wal mart the driver rear upper control arm (camber arm) LET GO. the weld completely snapped from off of the bushing collar. the shaft to the turnbuckle actually ripped the bushing collar in half.
you can take this however you will, but i do not have a degree, i have however taken enough mechanical engineering courses to know that this design was not made out of steel strong enough to make it work, and whats really bad about this is that godspeed makes incredibly inferior products, no offense to those running them, but this is my experience, and in my experience with both of their control arm products (godspeed and wicked tuning) i have found that unfortunately for wicked, godspeed makes a far superior product, i had mine over a year and a half before they crapped out and bent, didnt even break, i was actually able to drive on the godspeeds after seeing that they were dammaged, the wicked gave no warning whatsoever, it just ripped apart.
I strongly reeeomend against buying these control arms, if i had been going down the highway at speed when this happened, well I'd rather not think about what would have happened, what if it had happened while i was climbing the mountain into san diego on the I-8? i mean thank god none of this did happen but who is wicked liable to if it did, not you.
