I can't even see what the issue is? is it ripped or leaking?

The picture tells us nothing. That is a new Lemforder arm & joint. It is a ball joint and is designed to move around.

Rumor has it Lemförder hardware survived in the Lusitania’s hold. Can’t fathom how “shipping coming from germany to us thats breaking the parts.”
