Or good luck that it didn't happen out on the trail and leave you stranded.

UCA issue

there are a few threads already started on this do a search. my understanding is the new models have been addressed, about this issue. the older models have the issue you're talking about and they're being repaired for free.

Let us know what they say, it may work out in your favor. I contacted them for the new style bushings when I was upgrading and they were quite helpful.They offered to install bushings for free if I sent the uca's to them. This task proved to be a real PIA and I had to pay someone to do it.

I've heard about it, but never seen it. I should go check mine, shitty luck bro, but at least you saw it in the driveway and not on the trail.
