I have never seen a factory Chrysler LCA shaft fail, but I have seen an aftermarket one break dead in half on a 100% street driven car. The car was brought to me for repair when I was an alignment tech at a local tire store years ago. When I inspected the shaft, it was apparent it had been cracked for a long time, possibly since it was made, as it had a rusted portion of the break about 1/3 the way through the break and the rest was fresh. The customer sent pictures to the company he bought them from and they refused to make them good. We replaced them with some used factory pieces. That old iron and steel was so much more dense than what is used today.
