Damn that's gnarly!
We use these couplers at work all the time, I have never seen one fail in that fashion. There shouldn't be any shear force between the legs and the hub of the rubber part. I wonder if the legs failed in compression and just kind of fell apart?
I guess since there are a decent amount of people with the Hyundai part in their twin, time will tell if the Hyundai coupler lasts on our cars. These cars are light and don't have a ton of steering assist, so we may be in a better position, maybe not.
