JBR Camber arm failure of earlier version

[Tokay444]

@jbarone;
This could quite easily kill someone.
Even SURE's failed at the expected weak point.
This I right in the, "strongest" part of yours.
Installer error, again?

[Tokay444]

The best part is no one died.
The second best part? It failed RIGHT AT THE LOGO!!!!

[Crarrs]

Guess the FEA model didn't account for the reduced cross-sectional area across the logo cutout...

[Tokay444]

Oh, and all those notifications? Other people who JBR make crappy parts mentioning me to this fail, because they know I won't have a problem speaking out about it.
The voice of many.

inb4 installation error

[MazdaBoy2.3]

I feel like that is the last place id put the logo cutout?

But im no engineer, so i could be completely wrong..

[Mauro_Penguin]

Oh my Luuurd... did an angry unicorn pee all over that thing? It looks like it took a beating!

Having just recently installed these on my car, I think I know why they broke that way.

I feel like I'm about to watch two angry irish men from 1890 fight to the death.

[Tokay444]

You're right Matt, you're not an engineer.



















Neither is JBR.

It looks like the weak point is where "JBR" is punched; CorkSport had a similar problem with the discontinued MS6 short shifter where some people reported bending the shifter right where "CS" was punched.

That logo in the camber arm is probably not punched. Probably laser- or plasma-cut, which makes it even weaker due to heat effects. All those square angles at the edges of the letters make for some nice stress concentrations too.

Is there a reason this is in the drama club section and not the vendor section?

Has the owner of above mentioned arms contacted JBR at this point? That's a pretty epic fail.

Actually, @Haltech; won't. But that's Another story.

Messaged her to call JBR.

Thanks for the tag. We're not pleased to see this by any means and we're grateful no one was hurt.

No not installer error.

This arm was from one of our initial runs. When we discovered the logo was a potential weak point we contacted all buyers and retrieved as many sets as we could and issued replacements with no logo. Not everyone was reachable or responded.

I do not know who this particular person is so I can't look up any information on the order. This person is more then welcome to contact us at 618-505-6633. We'll take care of the situation.

[Boostin'likeAboss]

well that didn't escalate quickly

[Tokay444]

Maybe it's working?

[predapio]

So, problem resolved.

How about some nudes now?

[helmetface]

I bet Brock went and pre-cut the arm at the seam with a sawzall.

Trixy hobitses.

[Tokay444]

That's a far better response than ANYONE who knows JBR expected.

I can't say I'm not impressed.

Well, it's a known recalled part that broke years after install. It's like reporting a broken sure arm or Cpe rmm with bad bushing. She has called and left a message.

As for nudes, those are the responsibility of the OP. Those are already posted in the penis thread.

Thread moved and renamed. Drama club is not the appropriate section for this content.

Being this can be quite a potential hazard, this information/thread should not be exclusive to just VIP members.

Further edited since the later arms resolved the weakness in that spot, and to avoid hysteria.

I don't think this is gonna be a revenue increaser unless people see how quick there was a response and that it's a dead issue. Who knows. But I can put money on it that tokay is not on JBR payroll.

[thems3driver]

Gotta say, Jamie handled it with class and professionalism. Glad no one got hurt.

[Tokay444]
