I would crap my pants too if the wheel spindle came off the ball joint. I just saw a mid '80s Tbird at a parking lot where it has lost a lower ball joint. The wheel was flipped up like the Delorean in Back to the Future II
I have just sunk about $700 into the front suspension of the SDL, more if you count the new tires and shocks. It was well worth it for the ride and handling (rides like a limo corners like a BMW) If we only need to go through the pain every 20 years or so I can handle it
