along these lines,
after two winters in NY (snow tires rule!) my whiteline front endlink gave out...
Driving down bumpy ass horace harding expressway in Queens, the bolt must have already taken off, and the collar thing that goes in the middle of the bushing gets jammed between my wheel and caliper
(s15, z32) and stopped that tire in its tracks. I was slowing to a stop when it happened, still really shitty. Ill probably never post pics, but the caliper took a BEATING...(has this ever happened to anyone, or do I get the darwin award?)
anyways, listen to these guys, this wouldn't have happened if I noticed the missing bolt, which i'm pretty sure was there when I changed the earl two weeks ago...
on another note, you can barely tell that your front bar is disconnected under normal driving conditions... but get a feel for it before you hit the twisties
I forgot about it by the time I got home, almost spun
