if you are worried about them, just plate them and put that money toward something else. I ran plated Ford knuckles for quite a while till I broke all the bolts that hold the arms on and had to weld the arms on the knuckles to keep wheelin......now I have Solids and havent looked back. I am a big fan of the Solid arms/knuckles with the big keyway in it, damn near impossible to tear up. IMO
