Thankfully you were not hurt and the car is relatively unscathed. This is something that is never far from my mind when I'm driving my Unique at speed. The absence of an upper control arm on the Jag rear suspension can result in catastrophic loss of control in the event of an axle or joint failure. Accurate Machine Products builds a Jag rear setup with beefier axles and an upper control arm. It ain't cheap though. I wonder if anyone has come up with an easy retrofit upper control arm to address this problem?
