Im gonna assume it was the crappy bumper that was on the car. I'll make sure I switch it to the stock one for tomorrow's race until my parma bumper arrives.

My foam moorspeed used to break c-hubs/steering knuckles all the time too before i switched to aluminum. Maybe I got a brittle batch of graphite.

I would love to post pics of the steering knuckle that shattered in 3 peices which is never seen.

Ive only broken one knuckle, I switched to T2 knuckles and they are great. Comming from an original jrxs this car is indestructable.

Yep they are a perfect fit just used the ackerman hole closest to the hub itself on the T2 knuckles and everything is the same.
