Are the rod ends made of EA3 material? If so then I split one of them right down the middle when I was trying to pass a car on the outside and smacked the the left rear tire on the wall. I did not have the long arms (running short rear arms) in back so I did not break an arm. When I look at how the arms break, they break funny. Regular graphite arms I have broke have clean snap offs, these arms break clean at the thin front part of the arm and in the back the peel back a strip then break off like wood from a tree and chip off also where the arms are notched. Almost like bad moldings or plastic mixing.
