Nelson,thank you.
As you observed,IT IS NOT THE QUADRA BAG that failed.
We know that on that wobble plate, it cannot handle the twisting of the
boggie arms as it does put tremendous stress on that hinged plate.The weld
sheared.
We recalled all of them and made a deal on the Quadra Bag System.
Others are still selling them by beefing it up or not.
