R- compounds and Auto-x use are the cause. The AP2's have a strap between both sides of the bracket added.

[QUOTE=RED MX5,Mar 15 2006, 10:00 PM]Just for my own peace of mind, could you please confirm that you either autocross or track the car on R compound tires?

Yea, but I can't see the tires in his avitar, and he didn't say anything about R compound tires. I can't imagine this happening on OEM tires, but if it is I want to get my seam welding done "real soon now."

Several years of autocrossing on R-compound tires is most likely the cause of my problem. I am guessing the thousands of miles spent driving the dragon did not helps matters.

Holy smokes,

A thousand miles on The Dragon is 90 one-way or 45 round trips.
I live less than an hour away, so a lot of my free time is spent there.

Hey Jason, can you keep this thread going to document your "fix" process?

It would be valuable to the auto-xers.

Thanks man and good luck.
