i went ahead and did what i was thinking in a earlier post with the rear carrier spacing. i used a 1mm thin shock nylon shock limit spacer that came with the kit. used 1 bushing in the front carrier and .5 offset down and out in the rear carrier. believe i'm at 1-2deg AS and 3 deg toe in. washers in pic look bigger than they really are due to the chassis bevel in that area
while i had the rear carrier off i did some beveling on it, less chance of it snagging/catching something now. ironicly they did do a bevel at the top, imo should have been done on the bottom both sides

What's that last pic you posted Socket? A custom made part?

I don't think I have ever heard of 7075 cast parts. It usually requires some post processing to achieve 7075, which isn't normally possible in a casting.
A tensile failure can leave a crystal fracture surface that could look like a porous casting. The mode of failure does appear to be an over-load in bending due to the cantilever. Pretty simple to fix with a revision to the part.

Should have used loctite for those broken rear hangers.
That's blatantly the cause of this
Xray cop out.

So I got a reply from XRay about the rear suspension. Looks like they are sticking to their BS "we've never had a problem" excuse. Apparently they expect us to just commonly replace a $30 part after a few race days of normal use. I'm just shocked they didn't tell me to use more loc-tite.
Needless to say, I'm not impressed with XRay's continued denial of such an obvious design flaw. Starting to regret not going Associated. They would have at least sent me a new part or a less BS filled answer.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email and your interest in XRAY products. Please note that some impacts to the "right" spot during the race may cause bend or even breakage. Compare to competition cars we use stronger suspension arms made from hard composite, therefore the arm does not break in every crash. But of course this results in that in some cases when the back of the car or rear bottom is hit from certain angle and with certain power, the holder may bend or break.
During the developmet and testing we did not experience any problems related to the rear arm holder. We may consider to reinforced it even more in the future.
If we can help you in any other way, please let us know. We will be more than happy to assist you or help you out.

Does this mean the replacement part is going to be of the same quality? So, replace every time this happens, or are they going to make a new hanger that all must just purchase?

A buddy emailed them, and they're going to replace it.
