I am not familiar with the Rennlist description of a failure/s . Does anyone know how many documented failures are out there ? Just curious how many failures vs. number sold . Is it 1 out of 100 ? 5 out of 1000 ? 98 out of 100 ? I bought a rear set of EPS a few years ago and haven't gotten around to installing them yet . Every component on a vehicle fails at some point that's why we replace parts . But a catastrophic failure is a different issue . Any feedback on actual numbers ?

I didn’t do a deep search but the amazon review and the rennlist post I saw were the same guy that bought the EPS front arms. Didn’t see any other person having the same issue with either arms.

I wouldn't expect anyone to do a deep dive I was just curious about a " rough " number . If we assume it is one it is possible that one could have been a defective casting . Or it could have been because it was an EPS bushing . Or maybe it was damaged along the way . Too many variables and not a large enough sample size to be conclusive .
