Yesterday after our visit with Roy we were headed to the circus in Ontario. As we pulled into the parking lot I heard a loud noise out of the front end, and said "that doesn't sound good". As we got to our parking spot, bam!

The good thing is that this didn't happen about 5 minutes earlier when we were doing 75 on the freeway. We had just gone over the 15/10 overpass, which is probably about 100 feet high. That could have been a real disaster. So there is always a bright side I guess. And the kids and OL got to go to the circus, Grandma was meeting us there so she was able to bring them home while I rode with the tow truck driver. Who, by the way, didn't stop talking for 1 second on the entire 50 mile ride home heheh.

Glad you and the family are all safe man, That would have been nasty on the freeway.

What a ball joint snap?

 

[SilvrSRT10]

Glad it ended the way it did. Could have been much worse.

 

[OCBob]

What a ball joint snap?

Yeah, upper ball joint.

 

[ViperJeff]

WOW..............

 

[TNVIPER]

Double WOW!!

 

[Hatedonmostly]

Yeah, upper ball joint.

Thats crazy, I have seen many balljoints break from hydraulics on car hopper's and dancers, but never just from riding down the road. Factory ones still. I know a place where you can buy unbreakable ball joints, If need be. Thats straight crazy.

 

[GADodgetech]

Thank god. That could have been bad, real bad

The whole front suspension is aftermarket. Truck has right at 100k on it.

Wonder if I can do the cash for clunkers to trade it on a sidecar? hehehe

 

[SilvrSRT10]

Check out the other side too. You got away with it once. Lets hope the other side doesn't let loose on you at speed.
