I just broke one of my brackets on my RSB!

I was adjusting my RSB today and I torqued it 25ft lbs and my bracket broke that was holding the RSB to the control arm! Ahhh, I forgot which how to web site said to torque it to 25 ft lbs, but they're so wrong! Does anybody know where I can purchase the bracket for ADDCO RSB?

Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

I would send an email to the shop where you bought it. Explain the problem and see if they can do anything to help you out.

Good luck,
Bob

Mine snaped. So the bracket that connects to the control arm of the car (not the U-SHAPE bracket) is suppose to bend? Because originally its shapped like this: [ Why didn't they just include a smaller U shape bracket if its suppose to bend to the shape of the control arm? Well, I forgot where I bought the addco rsb. I remember I got it from a groupd deal when it first came out. Anybody know of a vendor that sells the rsb that might also just sell me the bracket?

Hey, thanks for the information. I called them they said they'll send me a new bracket. They have pretty good customer service. I told them what happen and they just asked for my info and told me its coming out to me today. No charge. Anyways does anybody know what the correct torque is for the ADDCO RSB? I forgot to ask them when I had them on the phone.
