So I decided to tear the drivers side (bad side) down in preperation for my new MM front end parts arriving tomorrow. Thought I would share some pics of the damage and what caused my problems... Tokico drag struts FTL! Fortunatly my lower ball joint maxed out before the spring was able to pull out from under the CC plate...but it was VERY close.
Here is how it looked the other day



And this is what I found after tear down.











And one to show off the headers (they were nice and shiny...but thats what happens to T-304 over time )

Thats the thread in tech I made. Pics and explains exactly what happened. And yea it was definatly making some noises LOL.

I called up MM and told them what happened....they said its happened before, although I ahve NEVER heard of anything like this. Also told me most likely why it broke, which seems to be pointig towards the QA1 coilover kit hitting my Steeda CC plates not allowing 100% free movement...but even still, that thing shouldnt break like that IMO.
