dont get me wrong i still love my tc3s but now if i would buy another if they have this kind of suport
I've had the same problem too, it's just a weak point in the design of the car. I've been running my tc3 for over 2 yrs now and i've given up on the original tc3 steering knuckles, try using the metal steering knuckles by GPM, they work well and seem to hold up. TC3 still the best!!!
