PLENTY strong, you need to see these arms. The bolts that attach the steering arm to the upright are 7/16 fine thread and attach on either side of the ball joint. A majority of the loading is between the LBJ and steering linkage which makes this arrangement better anyways (all the loading is in a one-piece solid link). These links hold up fine after banging against concrete retaining walls and other cars for 500 miles at 190MPH, they should be fine for a few potholes on the street.
