Little story of my dealing's with GMS.

So I take a cruise in the coupe up to Oriely's to buy some energy suspension sway bar links. As Im leaving I gas it to shoot across the intersection, I hear a lil bang and then it starts sounding like my tailpipe is rubbing on the tire. Pull over and look...nope not the exhaust. So I take back off and as I hit a bump I can hear it worse, and worse, tire smoking all kinds off ****. Back to the side of the road and then I see it..

Trash ass **** has bent and is causing the rear to rub on the front of the fenderwell.

How it should be

Oh, and after I talk with GMS they tell me they can't do anything cause it falls on the company I bought them from. TRASH ASS ****. How could Summit be responsible for GMS's trash???? Who's gonna pay for my tire???

This is because I knew the tubular ones of theres had broken before, and I thought I was safe with these.

It's nice that they are adjustable. But the open design and the factory bend will make it weak. I have Hotchkis control arms on my '87 GT. The inner is probably mostly hollow, but is solid all the way around. Haven't had a problem with them. But they aren't adjustable though. Hope you get it worked out.

Sorry to hear about your woes. That's quite a serious parts failure.

I'm curious - why was each side adjusted that much differently? I'm referring to the amount threads coming out of the bottom on each side. They are quite different.

He may have had to do that, to bring the spring on the bent side up to the same level as the other side. Just my guess.

Close, I had to do that to get the car up off the tire, so I could try, and get it home.

I've had a problem with fitment of a k member from gms and they would not honor any type of warranty and the camber caster plates they sent me had UPR engraved in the aluminum????? Never again!!!

Sorry to hear about your incident. Luckily you were not going down the freeway at high speed when it gave out!!!

I know how you feel about companies with BAD customer service. I have had the misfortune to deal with the ones that have reps that lie. Reason I will never buy from UPR again.
