Saw this post on Facebook today, not my post but holy cow,I can't believe a business would let stuff like this go out the door! I hope the buyer sent it back?

Here's a screenshot. If the item is as described, I'll scratch that company off the list, too. Can't anyone make anything of quality anymore?
At least low-arch composite springs don't have any welds...
EDIT: I gotta wonder if the Facebook poster got a counterfeit set off of eBay, or if he faked this with toothpaste and black paint for engagement farming. There's no way this is real, is there?
That is wild! I purchased some offset arms a few months ago from vansteel and the welds looked nothing like that. It could be bullshit though....it is on facebook after all.
This post kept me thinking so I went and took a close up of mine in that same area.
Wiped off the seam for clarity
There is no weld in that area. I believe the whole trailing arm is cast as one piece. Either someone thought the already much stronger than stock arms still weren’t enough, or someone intentionally put bad welds on it to get a rise out of people on the internet. Regardless, that’s not how they’re supposed to look.
