My understanding is that it is comparable to the rear out of a C4. I believe the weak spot is that the halfshats are also a control arm in both designs, so If you have one break, you essentially lost the upper control arm too. Unfortunately since that most likely wil happen while the vehicle is moving, that would make it difficult to control the car.

fitted 1 in a street rod they weight a ton , hub carriers are a weak point for cracking at the lower bearings , thats a deff look for quite common.
