I’m 100 percent confident Subaru/Toyota are aware that these cars get modified, tracked frequently and quite publicly. I imagine it would be quite embarrassing for them if something as simple as a revised aluminum steering knuckle became a common failure point, especially when their marketing dept had gone out of its way to highlight the upgrade (see Subaru’s demo days for the gen 2’s with the new part sitting side by side with the old iron knuckle). I guess you never know but that would be a massive black eye for Subaru IMO.

That's so true. Imagine their embarrassment if Gen 1 cars had overheated oil and fuel starvation on on track...
...oh wait a minute.
Lets not even mention the axles overheating, puking and dying. Or spun rods due to oil pressure loss with the shitty boxer oiling system.
