Sheared off lower ball joint

[Jerry Clayton]

Lots of times we seem to focus downstream of where the actual primary failure occurred---I feel in this occurrence that the possibility exists that the upper failed first and then that the lower broke off at the stud.

Jerry,

The upper ball joint pulled out. I don't see any way this could happen if the lower ball joint didn't shear off first.

Thanks,
