New flux broke rear turnbuckle would like to eliminate them. Options?

Couldn't a flat bar be made to replace the turnbuckle? Just gotta make sure the length is just right...

If the turnbuckle were the only part that broke, that would be a great fix. However, the knuckle arm also breaks, so using a rear upright eliminates both of those points of failure.

And of course, by going with the Integy rear uprights, you save weight since they weigh only half of the stock parts they replace (toe links, knuckles, hubs).

Hadn't heard of the Atomic RC rear uprights before...

They do look like they'd be pretty solid, but also heavier than the Integy. And they use E-clips
They are cheaper than the Integy uprights, though:

Thanks for all the help, I will look into the atomic hubs, I just cant put an integy part on anything of mine
