AMS vs Kinetix Camber Arms?

I take back I never seen a break. Here's a pic from AMS (so who knows) of a broken kinetix ball joint. But this could happen to anyone that uses

that was the gen1 build. The newer ones have a little bit different race for the ball joint. I have had mine of my car for almost 40k. The only issue was the ball joint was a little on the dry side and required me to lube 2x's in the past 2 summers. Other than that...FLAWLESS. Also handles a lot better in high speed corners than stock.

O thank you. Good to know. Does yours look the same as ams? I still might do the better ones I found that say heavy duty and maintance free. You can see the one GTkiller sold were better as they are machined unlike the ams which is cast.
