Disaster averted

Who can spot impending catastrophic failure? I just noticed this in my driveway, after a day of hard wheeling at Calico yesterday. Disaster averted, thankfully.

Check your rigs, folks.

Jeez. That didn't give you any slop driving home?

Nope. 75 mph all the way home. I could let go of the wheel and it still tracked straight.

I was going to recenter my steering wheel this afternoon and noticed abnormal camber. Started looking around and saw this.

I got lucky. If that let go on the freeway .... [emoji43]

For sure. Glad it got you home and very happy you caught it before it got any worse. 🍻

More pics. You can see some surface rust in the crack, indicating that this didn’t occur just yesterday. You also can see a crack starting on the other side. Like I said, disaster averted. [emoji50]

Wow! That is some scary shit.

Glad you caught it before it went to full separation.

One more place to look closely at after a wheeling trip.

Any abnormal symptoms or did you just happen to randomly see it when you were doing an inspection?
