Default AJ-Racing ever sell J's Racing rear toe arm bsk?

Did AJ-Racing ever sell J's Racing rear toe arm anti-bumpsteer kit?

i know they got caught for knocking off J's exhaust.

i wonder if they ever tried to knock off J's racing rear toe arm by just slapping on a J's Racing sticker on it.

i bought a J's Racing rear toe arm used from someone on s2ki.com

if the original owner purchased from AJ-Racing, then i will be concerned about the authenticity of my J's Racing toe arm.

the t1r toe arm that AJ-Racing sells has shown to fail at the endlink upright rod due to insufficient material strength.

if anyone knows, i'd greatly appreciate your insight.

Take a picture of your current rear toe arms in question.

Otherwise, it's pure speculative.

I never heard about them getting caught for knocking off J's Racing products, what are you talking about specifically? Do you have any proof of this?

They (AJ-Racing) deny they made j's copy exhausts complete with branded boxes and maintain that J's racing made special edition (two piece design) exhausts to save on shipping costs for their customers.

J's racing ended their relationship and AJ no longer sell any J's products.

So you can be the judge.

if you read the letter from J's Racing...it is very clear that J's anonymously purchased specifically a J's Racing exhaust and received a knock-off.

there is no judging that.

AJ is obviously going to have an excuse and try to muddy the scenario and turn a clear incident into a confusing one.

there is no question, when J's purchased a J's Racing exhaust and received a knock-off...that's it.

J's President even went to Taiwan to find the damn factory producing the knockoffs.

now i'm worried that i have a t1r rear toe arm that has a J's sticker on it.

there is failure on the t1r toe arm due to insufficient material strength.

That's crazy, I've been gone from the boards for a while and I never heard of that. I'd like to see that letter if you have a link to it.

The only way we can tell you if the toe arm is authentic or not is if you post pictures of it.

This is what brought AJ's house of cards down.

The 2nd page to that thread has AJ's "explanations".

Sorry I can't be of more help Jyeung!
From my readings regardless of the brand, rear toe arms need to be replaced and maintained frequently because they are meant to be for racing and not road use.
