SPC vs SPL Rear Camber Arms (Reliability vs Durability)

bleunetizen

many parts can fail but suspension arm SNAPPING OFF is something I don't wanna experience ever.

I think I should take this off and SPL instead. Or something else?

SPC replacing broken part does not fix anything, its my head at the stake, not the cheap suspension arms. Several posts over the net sharing the same problem, snapping off at the exact same place tells me this is a design fault. Probably good for cars that do not get driven hard, but mine does get driven pretty hard, it is pretty much for track day fun only..

Didnt get the SPL in the first place because I do not have any other suspension parts that are using pillow ball bearing ends, and they all go clunky after a while, but I think I should start looking at alternatives now.

They'll become clunky after awhile? Hope not!

They all do eventually, it's just the way it is because it is pretty much a solid mount with nothing absorbing the vibration/shock.

Some last longer than others, usually smaller ones tend to start making the noise earlier, and some cheap bearings start making noise from day 1 because they are not really tight even when new. but often people using such mount do not really care much about noise because it still serves the purpose - solid bush
