wow bill that sucks you had them fail i hate when that happens. it happens to the best of use. we can't control the product just are work. good luck fixing that stuff and great post bill i forgot to talk about the bolts. like bill said the bolts are the weak part of those rods. the bolts bill is talking about are about the strongest bolts that i have seen not the one he broke either :lol: . in almost every rod the bolts are the weak spot so never cheap out on bolts.
