It really messed his car up and the front tire folded up and back into the fender. Beware of the material you choose to run.
Wasn't this determined to be because of Chromemoly? I think that I have heard of multiple (street) failures on Chromemoly K-members and arms. IMO, chromemoly is a trailer queen only K-member. Mild Steel is the way to go on a street driven car.
