That has not happened yet. I've never had a control arm bushing slide out either.
I just thought i'd take this opportunity to bust you balls a bit. Here i am with my POS 75 everyone thinks is surely going to discentigrate any day and kill me in a firey crash, but i just keep motoring.
All you anal dudes that have everything in tip top shape seem to be much closer to death.
If that had snapped off during one of your bird runs....
I guess neither is a catastrophic failure but could send you into a rock wall or ditch depending on how good a driver you are.
never had the steering ram come off before, but I had a small block vette that had the drivers upper a-arm bolt come out(front bolt).....while driving. I was turning and wasn't going that fast when it happened...the wheel tilted in a strange way. The arm jammed itself in there.
Had it happened while I was driving at any speed, the car would most likely had veered to the left based on the way the wheel tilted......mostly 2 lane roads here. that would have meant going into the oncoming lane......
