A picture tells a thousand words but are you complimenting the rennbay joints on strength or saying they bent too easily??

I would say complimenting as it looks like the whole A-Arm is bent. I doubt that you will ever put that kind of force on the pin without it being in an accident.

Yes, complimenting for sure. There is a large debate out there about the strength of these longer pins.

Hi Kevin,
Good to see that, I am fitting a set of these until I can get my hands on a set of Charley arms so it is good to see thay they don't snap.
The debate has spread this side of the pond too! It has been debated on the Porsche Club GB site www.pcgb.co.uk
Great to hear that you will be getting the car repaired. A lot of you has gone into that car
Cheers
Tom

Same thing happened to me, though not as bad. All this after an encounter with a curb.

Its good to know that it is strong enough to hold the wheels to the car even in the case of accidents.

Were those the 19mm pins?
