Wow gjkrv8.
That could have turned ugly really quick.
Great to hear that you only experienced some loss of steering sharpness. I think we can all learn from failures. Its great to see a guy step up and say, ooops I have had a part fail. Its great to look how it failed and learn how we can all improve our cars. I have a similar design in the lower arms of my 32 Tudor. It is a common design. I have never really liked how long the lower shock bolt is and the possible flex. The competition arms I have had experience with have a tube go across the arm behind the shock mount. Then plates go from that tube to the ball joint area. These plates are what the shock mounts to. With an open mind and some clever ideas we can all look at building a better mouse trap.
