Relay Rod Gave Way. Is This Common?

[BIG BLACK WARRIOR]

2016 Apex LE Front End of relay rod where it attaches to the bolt going through the front of the rear suspension shock worn through, and came off, caught in the track, and sled came to an abrupt halt. Is this common with these relay rods? About 5,000 miles on sled. Other side was just about worn through also.

I have never had one let go.. I have 17000 miles on one of our Apex's but good to know you have something in the works just in case.

My nytro rtx se has these relay rods and the ends do wear out. I believe Schmidt bros made aftermarket ones for the nytro.
