Default JBR Camber Arm Failure

Over the weekend I had one of JBR camber arms fail and I just wanted to document on MSF that it happened in case anyone is looking for camber arms. Not the first time that I've seen a JBR part fail but I will also post how Jamie handles the situation since I have been in contact with him about the failure. So far he has been apologetic as one might guess and I'm just thankful this didn't fail when I was driving on the interstate. I'd prefer for a refund but I'm not sure that will happen, sounds like from his first reply that I might just get a new set.

It looks like the weld at the opposite end is also cracking. Something tells me that QC wasn't great on your set of camber arms.

Most likely, I didn't think this was a part that could fail honestly which is why I didn't replace them in the first place.
