^^^You could hear all that on the phone?
That had to be quite the conversation!
Too funny your were talking to him when the incident occurred.
That's like Twilight Zone stuff. [eek]

Thanks WD40 for the merge. I will give updates as things progress

Yeah, no sense using the Showroom to show broken suspension parts.
Might as well put it here for future reference. []

Yeah Josh I don't know why I was so calm about sliding 30 feet as smoke poured out of the wheel well. It must be all the racing I watch and when I drive go karts or race cars the first thing my instructors taught us is to stay calm when crashing and not panic and react the wrong way. All i did was control the car and rode it out.

looks like the struts probally broke down under seeing as the way its turned all the way outward.....thats scary glad your ok...damage dont seem to be horrible...hope they handle it for you

Somehow they screwed up tightening your pinch bolt. The only time I've had ball joint probs was when my wife drove off the road after a blowout. Ouch!

Sorry for the delayed update. I got the car back yesterday. Everything was fixed and a new axle and control arm was installed. The only main problem I have the liner is tweaked. It doesn't touch except if I have to do a u turn to the left. I am going to work on sometime this week but besides that the car drives perfectly like nothing ever happen

I work at a parts store, My guess is if there replacing the whole controll arm there to lazy/cheap to put in a good (moog) ball joint. obviosly this wasnt a parts failure, but im just saying thats probably a cheap genaric part.
