Im a little bit disappointed by elephant products.
They shipped me a rear camber plate that had markings and an oversized bearing.

And some Drop link with bent marks. They say its how they make them....

Yikes. That plate is used, wrapped or not. That rod looks like it has some sort of fatigue cracking going on. Not good.

That is unacceptable and concerning. Major stress risers in the drop link.

Well.. It's a grey area I think.. Have rolled past plenty of Police [from either direction, in slow traffic and otherwise] and have had no trouble.. It is reflective, and has all the legal markings etc.
