That's quite possible/probable - and you probably wouldn't know it! -- until the DEGREE or AMOUNT of turning of the shock-mount was sufficient to cause the upper-part of the droplink to fail. .....just like mine.

By failing -- it has just left its calling card, so to speak -- giving YOU a heads-up that something is amiss.

All the more reason to install TWO locking collars and, also, to PAINT the 'alignment' -- and, also, to periodically "take a looksee" under the car.

On Saturday I was under the car investigating a tiny drip of oil on the floor that apparently came from the chain cover and took a peek at the markings on one of drop link mounts and found nothing amiss. I will check them both again tonight.

Are those of you who have had this problem tracking your cars or using them as DD's?

Wondering if the type of sways being used amplifies the problem? Anyone running MO30 sways with the PSS9's had issues with twisting mounts?

The collars are in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service. I hope they understand the immediacy of this situation and deliver them without delay!

Hi Andreas,
Got home yesterday, from work, and "the envelope" was there on the kitchen table.
You da man!
Now I just gotta git my replacement droplinks from ViperBob/Bilstein and schedule some time with the wrench.
