I received that email too I called and spoke with John but it was in regards to another item I purchased.

I talked to Chuck from Z1 this morning he said to have my shop contact him and they will sent new part. My shop isn't open yet, In AZ it's only 6:50am here.

He was saying that they have had some issues with these but thought most problems were from people or shops disessembeling the ball joint and not using locktite properly when putting back together.
Since I installed mine and was present when my car was alligned it was not the case.
None of us disessembeled the ball joint EVER. They were preessembled from the factory and were left that way.

Got the same email. Recently started hearing clunking noise coming from left front after greasing them to eliminate squeaking noises. Glad I didn't do the canyon run I had planned to this weekend.

There seems to be a patern formimg with these.
Zl is saying the ball jonts need a different locktite so the bolt doesnt back out.

This is ridiculous,

Last night coming home from Palm springs my Driver Side z1 upper control arms malfunctioned as well. I received the same email that you have from spencer.

Luckily I didnt get into an accident. I replied to their email to verify that the upper control arm was the issue but not have heard anything back form them.

Terrible
