|  Bent VPWraith Knuckle
Now with full disclosure, I have not contacted VP yet. I know their customer service is top notch.I just wanted to share what I found tonight as I was installing my VVD's and alum C-hubs.  I have never seen nor heard of anyone bending out the Knuckle like this. I don't have tons of use on it and I believe it bent when my plastic C hub broke. Just kind of a bummer, I think I may be able to bend it back in a vise but just not sure. |

Well if VP won't do anything you have to try something. Just saying!

I would worry about the outside of the knuckle cracking. Some aluminum will crack if put under enough stress...I am pretty sure though VP will just send you a new one.

I don't think VP is liable for that one. If you did it when you broke something else that kind of explains it. Maybe they will help you out though. That still seems like user fault.

If one of the screws fell out and he kept driving, this would easily happen to any knuckle.
