I have the old Forge tie bars...are those prone to snap? Is there a design flaw with them?

Default you certainly get that impression when you read the description that shows a pic of an exploded tie

bar.

I believe they used the oem design and simply split it into two allowing them to add the camber adjustment tool.

The design flaw on the OEM part is the bushing which ALL of the replacement arms reuse.

Default Is it exploded or enlarged? If it's just enlarged...>

then I think I'm safe. If it's exploded then maybe I'm already dead.

Default Yes, CPT makes some very nice control arms at a lower cost.
