Well if it's confidence you're after I know of many high power mk1 focus rs's and I've never heard of them breaking a flange. Only twisting drive shafts

Just can't work out what happen, hub nut snapped and caused the flange to snap or vice versa?

Bloody hell. How many times had that been on and off? Maybe over tightening?

Once or twice? It's the flange that's split clean in half that's scary, luckily it happened on a slowish straight and not a fast corner

Just want to check that there ain't a beefy versions, in the grand scheme of it the group a wheels,nuts and studs can't be that much of a strain
