mine had a small crack on the where it ties the hanger to the crossmember. but they were still a pain in the butt to remove. plus i didnt like the fact that the only thing holding my spring on were these flimsy peices of 1/8" thick metal. i also didnt like that when i torqued the boltd down to what couldnt of been more that 30ftlb's they bent and smooshed the bushing. i was barley able to flaten the lock washer.
