ground control parts failure.

Lousy luck with GC parts. First delivery had wrong camber plates installed .
Second delivery was wrong specs, partly my fault. Rattled as if broken.
Third delivery had out-of-box failure @ strut tower stud.

Three strikes. Lots of money, time and labor wasted. Immense frustration.
Their phone support was good but the product just failed hard.

FYI Broken strut tower stud, broke before vendor spec of 18 lb-ft. Other side was halfway gone in same location. The horseshoe piece flexes too much during install and the bolt separates from the head. IMO the allen-head recess weakens the bolt at the base.

--correction, the "weld" didn't break. The stud twisted off the welded head. ---

Fix involves dropping the suspension, fix/replace part, realign front end.
