Ok, with less then 75 miles, my new BBK upper-control arms are trash. One has the bushing ripped in half, and the other is completely gone, causing the rear-end to shift, therefore, causing left rear tire to get gouged up from the fender. Seems they can't handle what they (BBK) claimed. Oh well, time for some UPR solid control arms.

If one control arm is completly gone, that would lead one to believe that the bolts aren't holding it in anymore. That would, in turn, lead one to conclude that some kind of install error occured. The missing arm could have to led to some excessive angles and stresses on the other control arm resulting in excessive deflection in it's bushings, resulting in it's bushings tearing. It just might not be a product problem.

Bolts are there, however, the bushing in the passenger side is gone, except for one small piece about the size of a dime. Otherside most of the bushing is there, but it is ripped/ tore. I would say it's a product problem when they claim their control arms can withstand up to 800 RWHP. My car is no where near that, but ripped/ tore the bushings. Oh well, I really wanted adjustable ones anyways!!

From your first post it read like the WHOLE control arm was completly gone.
