While under my jeep today surveying all the suspension components, i noticed this...new joint on the way. Looks like the metal on the compression ring either was mis-threaded (doubt it...would not have been able to tighten them down that much) or the threads had something in them when or just flat out failed. These are the rough country joints and have held up well to bashing and have a lifetime warranty which they honored without question as soon as i called them.
