Mine splintered at around 29K miles...that was about 3 years ago, there was nothing on them at that time and I haven't heard anything since then.

Was the cracking at the edges towards the wheels.
If so, it was caused due to the chemicals in rim cleaner.

I'm having trouble believing that so many forum members have this delam problem & there is no tsb or recall on it?
Are we all just an unlucky bunch?

I wonder if it's a bad batch, you know, like a bad batch of tires (Firestone recall/flipping Explorers).
Maybe the process of manufacturing the spring has some critical temperatures or portions of epoxy or lamination fluids and they got it wrong for a bunch of them.
The delam seems to happen on many years of Vettes though.
Anyone know who makes the mono spring for Chevy?

138,000 miles not a problem. I dont believe the wheel cleaner idea at all, just my 2 cents.

You can check Bulletin Titles for your Year at http://www.alldata.com or see if anyone has filed a complaint at http://www.nhtsa.gov - you can file your own too. Never had a problem with mine.
