Chuck,
I had one of the hex bolts that is mounted to the block on the front fail. Luckily that was in my driveway. The rear is a differant story. The long pin that goes through the bottom ARM broke of at 25-30 mph speed. Again with luck on my side there was minimum body damage. The right rear of the body draged on the roadway. The broken wheel scuffed the inside fenderwalls,There was wheel damage to the inside of the 17" rims. That was the scariest event DO not want any thing like that happening again.I will try to dig up some pics that I have somewhere.
