I had the very same problem of the tube begining to bend I was using MK items I think the problem is that the initial design was for the Kent engine and possibly the old A series this was a considerably lighter engine than the pinto and V8 you must also remember the weight of the gearbox. The heavier engine requires heavier springs therefore increased pressure on the wishbone. Above all else there will also be softening in the tube at the point where the weld ends due to the heat inflicted. MK now supply stronger versions of the lower wishbone to over come this. I added additional 3mm plate to nin to further strengthen. Never heard of this problem with a BEC

CC/CR wishbone suspension..... who thought that up??? I bet he works at quickfit

Did you notice how the roll centre raises until its inside the car? That`s not a performance increase now is it! Who thought that would be better, take him outside and shoot him.

The lower the roll centre the better.... imho

Where the roll centre has moved too is similar to a saxo, pug or other hatchback! Lets go to halfords a buy some speakers, innit!
