That is one of our tests. At what kind of load though? Ours will fail eventually (all aluminum does), but like I said previously, at the loads we're testing, only a small percentage of people will even be able to subject the parts to the loads we are testing at (2-3%). Do you have a thread of pictures of the failed rod end?
We will update the thread when the tests are finished
