Crikey, how'd you bend them? Do you mean the tie rod arms?
Could it be the 33's are too much for them. They aren't very meaty and I've heard they not that strong as a result. This is on the Rodeo's though. I suppose the Jackeroo's are the same.
BTW, you're not the only one whose had to cut the guards to fit 33's.
Gladstone? mid north SA?

cheers, sudso

I bent one last year and go a second hand from the wreckers for $45 including the ball joints which were like new .
so try the wreckers first instead of giving your money to holden
