Who did the install? I hear its pretty easy to screw it up. I bought the install kit from Harbor freight and did it myself, but had Muellerized (RRC) double check my work when they did my alignment.

Nope, it's the poor man's solution to the right hand sweeper oil starvation issue.

Next is an accusump and then the Moroso pan that fits like ****.

I'm stopping at the baffled pan and crank scraper.

I haven't taken it apart, or had it towed home for that matter. But yea from what I can see ball joint is still in the LCA and post/nut is still in the hub assembly

Put them in a few years ago at my buddy's shop. It's a ball joint with a retaining ring. Can only go in one way.

I've installed many over the years in multiple vehicles.

**** Happens. Funs of owning a sports car I guess.

Nothing. First I've ever seen sheer with no warning. No knock or creaking like you'll usually hear when they're on their way out. Start tearing it down next week.

Like I said **** happens. We'll get her back together
