Most likely the fastening of the bolt would rip of. or the bolt trough the uniball breaks. The bolt holding the uniball needs to be supported on both sides.

I have already bendt one turnbuckle assy due to overload, so i changed to harder material in the treaded part.

turnbuckle ? the threaded part in between the torsion housing plate and the trailing arm plate which defines the toe-in / out ?

also in your opinion would 3mm mild steel be strong enough for the laser cut items ?

Yes the threaded part bendt. it was made of 304 steel i think, but i changed to 316 ss.
3mm is not enough.. at least use stainless steel. and make a sandwich type construction. with spacers between plates with same size as the uniball.
