Sometimes a manufacturer DOES actually build a faulty or unsafe product.. and frankly - when that happens and somebody gets hurt as a result - too bad for the manufacturer...
Other times it's lawyers and their clients going after the deepest pockets... and that's when it's just plain CRAP...
When I see aftermarket chassis - and I compare them to the FACTORY OEM stuff...(just visually) most everything I've ever seen looks far better than the factory. They are - after all - pretty simple pieces as far as basic design. Two sticks with a crossmember - and some suspension bolted on.
What I always look at and wonder about -- is -- the size and type of tires and brakes we're sticking on this stuff... and then going to tracks to beat on it.... and are these "stresses" ever taken into consideration. I mean - was the suspension and pick up points etc designed for a 305 - 200 or lower tread wear tire -- with 15" 6 piston brakes... banging a corner at 105MPH....
I hope so...
