Broken Ball Joint

[TheRX7Project]

Crap. I went out to have a little fun, and while I was pulling a 90* powerslide in my parkinglot, broadsided the retaining wall. I didn't think there was any damage, but after another minute or so, it became apparent something wasn't right. Turns out I broke a balljoint in my front suspension. The axle and CV joint fell out of the differential too.

Oh, BTW, this was on my RC car.

Good thing it's just a beater car, and I have a spare suspension... still a PITA though.

Better the toy than your real car.

That happened to me in my real car, minus the goofing around. Turned corner, balljoint let loose, spindle moves, cv joint blows apart.
