It's good to hear that DRV is taking the initiative to address this problem! The weak caliper clips have been a known problem for some time now. While at MORryde this summer they were actively replacing ALL of the faulty clips on the 9k axels as they were coming through their shop! That's per Gary Wheeler.
Like I said, the tech working on my trailer had orders to replace those clips. Pryor to me going to MORryde ALL of my clips on the rear of my calipers were bent like in the pic I posted above. Most of the front clips weren't bent or very slightly bent. According to Gary Wheeler Dexter feels very confident they have found a viable correction for the caliper failure on their 9k axels, I HOPE so.....
