the bolt on the lower ball joint just sheared right off... really weird...

I inspected them (ball joints) about a month ago when I had to change the passenger half shaft... and they were fine...

the really weird part is that I didnt hit a bump or anything... I was on a totally smooth, straight-away... no warning or anything... the car just fell to the ground.

The extent of the damage seems to be the fender, fender linning, the ball joint, the tie rod end and the half shaft... the tire is shot and the rim seems to be bent too... this is really devestating...



The pics dont do the justice... it looks much worse in person... and just after it happened, the tire was almost touching the door... :shocked:
