One final noteworthy discovery .... after removing my suspension and inspecting the Vorshlag plates I immediately discovered a design flaw that would have made for a really crappy day. The caster adjuster mounts to the aluminum plate that is extremely thin and has very little mass to allow for the adjustment of the moving parts. It's basically an light weight aluminum ring about 1/4" thick. As a result both of my camber plates were bowed upward to the point that camber adjustment was no longer possible and both side showed signs of fatigue. Stress cracks in aluminum are a very serious safety concern. If I had continued to run them I'm betting they would have ended up failing on me at some point next season. That would have sent the entire shock up into the tower and possibly into the hood. Imaging that happening when hitting a rumble strip at triple digit speeds. They might be $500 paper weights today but I really dodged a bullet by getting them off my car.
