Eric, the problem is a crack of the nickel PAD, or is a PILLOW defect ? See the photos annexed.

Ok Eric, finally we know that the problem should be the PILLOW (sincerely, your photo is not very clear) and not the crack of the joint. There is a big difference on the failure mode of the two defects... If the problem is realy a pillow I only ca
