The wishbones are made to be the sacraficial part of the build, if you ever had an accident (god forbid) they are designed to give before the chassis.

Which would you rather after an accident?

1. Replace one maybe two wishbones at £80 ish

2. Strip down the entire car, replace the £700 chassis (or make repairs to the damaged part) and then rebuild the car.
