My Kinetix A-arms. Are they about to break???
After reading a number of threads about Kinetix products falling apart, in particular this one https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...hlight=kinetix, I took a look at my a-arms and notice a bend in the metal on both left and right side A-arms. The black paint at the bend is flaking off a little, however there are no cracks that I could notice. Do any of you with Kinetix arms have this same bend? I don't know if they came this way with a bend, or are they gonna snap all of a sudden while im driving??? I don't track the car and the a-arms only have about 4,000 miles.
Also, those with Kinetix a-arms, are these circular rubber pieces misaligned on yours?

if the paints peeling away most likely it's due to metal fatigue and flex. I say take them puppies off right away.
hard to say, but from the looks if the bushings are flexing like that it might be that the arm is not square with the mount and putting additional stress on the bushings. This miss alignment could also be contributing to the premature failures of the arms by putting additional stress on the welds. Seems like they might have a missaligned jig or something.

kinetix sucks
Well mine is the same here . The "flat" metal arm is not made to handle flex. That why once it moves or bended it will crack the paint. Yes mine rubber bushing is crooked like your and yes there is sign the arm flex. How low is your car . Mind I have 20/255 with sportline barely clear the fender on turn.
