Exactly! Even Territory which is much heavier don't have a problem with its control blade arms.
If you had mentioned Diff bushings, I would have agreed. They could have been engineered better so they didn't split. The Turbo model and probably XR8 have more of this due to the power.
I find this thread quite silly really.
The BA is quite well put together compared with VE Commodore.
On the VE Commodore it isn't possible to take off the plastic panels without cracking off the small brackets on them. That's shocking design!
Neither of the Ford or the Commodore are as well built as a Toyota where every clip is carefully engineered, and can be dismantled without damages.
Real s**t cars are things like Holden Cruze and Jeep Cherokee, where expensive parts break down, and you break down along the road.
Parts prices and availability is also a factor to consider. (Ford has already many obsolete parts), and even when you could get the parts they were often far more expensive than expected.
Anyway that's just my opinion.
