In this particular case, one of my rear rod end bolts got a bit bent when a rear shock blew and took out a few of my rear suspension bits. The SPL links were backordered at the time, so I forgot it was bent by the time they arrived Should really put them on.

On a car that goes wheel to wheel racing, it's just good practice to carry spare control arms / end links to the track. They're usually the first things to go when there's contact (intentionally so) and it's a bummer to miss a race because you don't have a replacement that takes 15 min to put on.
