I was told when I brought my car to Las Vegas that I had the original design that people had had problems with (eg failed) that I already knew about long before my frame was built. I assumed that since the problem had already been doccumented that they would not put them on my car (instead of dealing with it when they ran out of parts or if it became a problem). I was told that they had swapped them out fro the newer design that solved the issue. May be I did or maybe I didn't or maybe the ones I got were a interim solution that they thought / hoped would solve the problem (kind of like the hood scoops on the 07 / 08 Shelby GT mustangs that almost all have warped..... that after many tries, they still don't have a final solution for - although a warped hood scoop won't kill you or any one else). I don't know, I just want to stop having problems with the car and to be able to enjoy it. I really don't think that that is too much to ask.
