put these in on saturday, broke on wednesday. this is the side that their heim joint threads into. i threaded the heim in as far as it could, that tightened down the lock nut.




the hole is now oval, and the threads ripped out. thank god i felt a wobble in the steering (i think thats from when the metal started stretching) and as i was making a right turn in a parking lot after slowing down, the end ripped completly out of the sleeve.

not to mention the heims themselves have a lot of play in them. this is after less then a week, and less the 500 miles.

Clearly those are coming off my car, I am not going to chance a failure like that. Fook!

I have megan RUCA's and Toe arms, both have excellent welds, the thread were all good...

I've got the toe rods as well, I don't have a whole lot of choice on those since one of my old ones is bent.

I wasn't going to whine about my experience with Megan till I saw this, but what the hey more fuel to the fire:
I specifically ordered 95-98 toe rods, when I recieved them a) they did not have the dust boot that was pictured and 2) there was a 10 mm difference between the width of the joint and the mounting width in the car. Looking at the packing list showed the part number was for an S-13. So I called them and arranged for them to pick up the S13 arms and send me S14 arms. Two weeks later, box arrived containing S14 Rucas (the welds on those looked ok, but I really didn't look too close). Call em again to pick up the Rucas and again send me S14 TOE CONTROL ARMS. Once I finally recieve the arms I again notice that there is a 10mm difference between the width of the megans and the oems. Again I call them, apparently there are supposed to be spacer washers included with the arms. "Oh, we have been out of stock of those washers lately so we stopped including them with our shipments".
WTF, I just could not believe the idoicraty of this organisation. You are out of stock of a critical component that will make your part fit a specific application so you just don't include that part. Fook em I got some washers from the hardware store, I told the tech that I will never recommend them or buy anything else from them.
