Hi, been looking at some of the above companies products on ebay, has anybody used any of their stuff? Im looking at the +4" trailing arms and have to say they look great value and the spec looks good on paper. Any ideas?
-
They do look good so I've just ordered some +2" ones

Ouch thats not good hope no one was hert Karlo. I would have thought you would get a refund even after the time as it looks an definite manufacture fault.
Keep us posted to what they say. How companies handle these things make all the difference.
I would say give them a chance to sort it.

No mate not good, luckily it went when we had the snow so I was only doing very very low speed, I dread to imagine what would have happened if I was doing 60mph on a motorway or somewhere similar.
I have spoke to the manufacturer on their site's Live chatbox funnily enough this morning to point out this fault. I am also led to believe that the manufacturer is a member on here so if he wishes to make a statement then he is free to do so.
My opinion, If anyone does have a set of these arms they should get them welded around where the pin goes into the front of the arm A.S.A.P for safety reasons

I spoke to him about the welding a couple of years ago when I bought mine. I had the welds all ground down and redone. Also had the angle continuously welded. It was less than useless as it was. I would hope the product was improved. He certainly took on board what I was saying.

Unfortunately he seemed more interested in the fact that I had put that picture up when I spoke to him.

Two years ago i would say that's long enough to get it sorted. This reminds me of a safety problem with a certain tyre company that jas had a bit ago they did not see that coming.
Be real careful what your buy for your trucks guys

The Adrenalin arms have arrive the first lot have seemed to have gone walkabout but he sent some more out straight away (yesterday) here is some pics of the welds.

be a set cheap on ebay soon then eh? ;)

I measured all the arms, the Adrenelin and OE are the same length, the Tarantula ones are 20mm (3/4") shorter :shock:

Those Adrenalin ones look well made. Persoanlly I can recomend the Gwenn Lewis ones, I've had mine a while and given them some grief.
