That may be true but I think a simple solution would be to put a neck on the area where the boot attaches to the arm just like the factory. While I know this is a challenge to mfg. it needs to be done otherwise these are useless. If Hotchkis has the same issue it needs to be fixed. The problem had to be obvious before these were shipped to me I questioned it once I looked at the parts but thought maybe it'd work. This is something that should of been recitifed before they were shipped. IMHO. That's how it works where I work anyway.
I'm not trying to bash Dillingers work but this is a MAJOR problem. The powder coat is also coming off in sheets due to improper prep. I also ordered the adjustable strut rods and heim tie rods and the box they were shipped in had holes in it from it being too small to fit the parts and it was beat up in shipping. So if there are suppose to be spacers with the tie rod ends, which I have another post on this forum about, they were lost in shipment. Not entirely Dillingers issue but it started with a box that was too small for the parts. And the parts had a couple of loose sheets of bubble wrap to protect the parts in shipment which did nothing.
I've read several posts on how nice John is and I'm sure it's true. But the warm and fuzzies from that doesn't help me with getting my car back on the road. I didn't buy the "Nice guy" I bought the parts.
