It's interesting that I'm perhaps lucky I never got around to using longer screws into the rear back bulkheads, if I had it may have pulled out the entire thread, as it stands nothing else broke, and it only pulled out a few threads, with a longer screw I won't need to replace the bulkhead.
yea I hightly recommend running longer Screws (M3x20 SKU# PA-SCO320) fixing the arms the the bulkhead,

The only issue with that is that with a massive hit you wont break anything but the screw may bend, but you will notice it straight away as the car wont track straight,
