The real question is.. how cranked ar the bars?

The reason the suspension would normally be at full extension is because there is little or no weight on the tire. That means little to no traction and therefore no breakage.

If you are running the bars way cranked, then you can have situations where the suspension is at extreme angles and has lots of force on the wheels. The resulting traction can lead to breakage as can the extreme angles on premature CV wear.
