I’m in Northern Ohio, which is 4 hours south west of the 6 ?How hot is it where you are? We all know RPM are made with a more pliable plastic. Maybe better to run stock arms in the summer and use RPM when it cools down. I've noticed my stock front arms are going strong this summer, but they snapped like twigs from November to April. Harder plastic in the spring/summer and softer in the fall/winter. Either way, it sucks to deal with it right now when you should just be worried about bashing. I'd go back to RPM one more time and push the case. You'll have to cover the costs to ship them back and the cost for new ones to be shipped back though. Not even sure if the math works in your favor.
It was upper 80s to low 90s that day. My rigs park in my garage which is usually a little hotter than outside, but not by much. So at worst 95F that day.
I have been popping so many stock arms during the last few months when it’s been warm to hot, so not sure what the answer is. Maybe a thinner hinge pin and thicker arms?
