I think that with a failure such as this any company should find out via their records where they sold the potentially faulty batch to and they should recall them in the interests of safety.  

Seeing the posts above it appears that the company looked like they knew that the arm could had been faulty prior to you having your incident.   This isnt very good at all, no wonder they cant do enough for you!

TBH they have no choice but to put your motor right and even from the photo you posted I can see what you mean about the welding.  All this quality control is a bit bolting-the-stable-door though isn't it, something of an admision.

If they know who bought the parts they MUST contact the owners, to ignore it now would be criminaly negligant (IN MY OPINION).

On the subject of uprated/cranked rear arms, I bought mine from Gwenn Lewis and couldn't be happier.  Ok they are a bit heavy but that's because they take a standard Britpart rear arm and weld a second tube over the top of that (OTT, get it :lol: ).  It's effectively 2 arms in one and the welding looks very good.

Oh, and the Gwenn Lewis one were cheaper than the things I think you may have just broken too.

the guys from there are OK but they didnt seem at all cheap at Donnington. Their propshafts were way over priced. I did buy some stickers from them though.

I saw one of these break on a challenge event, must be near a year ago now.(sorry, not good on dates)
Your picture of the lack of penetration on the weld is exactly the same thing i saw.

I vowed then, never to get in a truck with that sort of suspension as i felt ill thinking about the consequenses of it failing at speed.
Thanks God your OK.
