    Thanks for the link, if the dealership doesnt replace em, whoch they should they’ve been great to me so far, Imma make the shop that probably did this install them on there.

    Now the Dobinsons are a world above. I was getting too much nose dive and bouncing on my 5100s. With these I barely get any. I havent offroaded them, but I have gone over potholes and broken sidewalks #956 #RGV, and they just glide over them. Im getting the rears installed this weekend, gonna offroad them asap, and then Imma do a review on em.

    They better, they’ve been rusting for the past 20k miles and I bet thats what led it to crack.

    Almost looks like someone took a grinder to it. You can see the crack, then below that, a surface cut continuing along the weld and back onto the LCA.

    Very strange!

    I don't understand what would result in the metal cracking like this. There's no force on the mount in that direction.

    someone pryed those tabs open too far and cracked that mount when they installed the wider BILSTEIN shock eyelet into the mounting point, its user/installer fracture not a part malfunction

    That's a lot of assumption.


    To me, I wonder if the shop installing the suspension bits used the BFH?

    Those Are Dobinsons my man.. and I think the installer may have over torqued the nut making the mount bend then after miles of driving and off reading , potholes, etc it finally had enough and snapped

    Edit: off roading**

    Honestly that's my assumption too. Someone did some hammering there.
