| Re: Issues with chromed suspension pieces?
Mark,
That might be a more suitable question for the GTD40 club and see if there have been any. As for other makes, equally I have no information. I've heard of 'upright' failures but they are not the issue in question. I think the previous comment made about chrome hiding the cracks is valid. Most of the wishbones and suspension that I see being made in 20g or 22g for race cars is only treated with Keyfoss before it goes into service, and it never lasts very long before its damaged anyway(thats why they are being made in the first place!).
I think you are face with a value judgement - is the cost of examining/checking/replacing the affected parts that high compared with the overall cost of your investment and labour? Using them as a pattern, the costs may not be as high as you imagine. Its not rocket science after all and any decent fab. shop could make them without a gold plated price.(sorry - wrong analogy !!)
