Went to put more forgiving street tires on the honda and noticed the right front was wiggling. Turned out the ball was breaking out of the a arm. Has me thinking if it broke on the highway of autoxing I would have rolled the car.

This happened to my Mustang on a hard right freeway offramp, on the driver's side. You're looking at the upper A-arm from in front of the tire. I thought I had knocked the tire off the rim, but no, I broke the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It was a good excuse to upgrade to the camber correcting tubular A-arms..
