As I said, a very lucky man!

For normal driving, probably not ideal, but not so bad. In an autocross event, you could have twisted the arm, snapped the arm, worst case lost control of the car.

Really glad to hear you discovered and fixed it in time. This strongly reinforces the reminder to inspect your car thoroughly at least at the beginning of every driving season and check all critical bolt torques. I guess I'll now add to also do it just prior to any track or autocross event.

Thanks for posting the details!
