I was out tinkering around on the KRX Friday and happened to glance at the left front suspension. I was shocked. I just had the updated a-arms and knuckles done a few weeks ago, and had given it a close visual inspection. Guess I should have put a wrench on things. I have only put maybe 5 miles on it out behind the house since the update was done. Damn good thing I hadn't gone on a real ride. My dealer will get an ear full next time I'm in there and show them my pictures. Just plain carelessness that had to potential to become a lawsuit had things come apart at speed.
Both mounting nuts/bolts must have just been finger tight when I picked it up and visually inspected everything. If I had ridden a couple more miles, the nuts would have come completely off. I think we all know what would have happened next. The right side was fine, tight as hell.
Sloppy work and lack of QC that could have ended very badly. Got lucky this time.
