[s-cars] Anyone experience this? Front Suspension

[Darin Nederhoff]

I had the same thing happen once upon a time.  The passenger side on my car
let go in a parking lot after hitting a small pot hole.  Moments earlier I
had been going 70 mph on the Minneapolis freeways so I was happy to have it
occur at a mere 5 mph!  Like you, I had recently done the same suspension
work.  It was put back together with new hardware and Locktite... no
problems after that.

S-listers,

An unusual rubbing of my right front tire led me to discover that the
swaybar nut had loosened.  As result, my entire front control arm/strut had
moved approx an inch towards the rear of the fender.  Upon inspection, I had
about .25" of threaded nut remaining.  Disaster avoided...

I replaced the lower control arms and sub-frame mounts last summer and
remember torqueing the nuts to 125 ft'lbs.  No locktite; no evidence it had
been used before.

When I went to consult the Bentley, but since I re-installed the software,
RB makes you call to re-register (and, yep, they are enjoying T-giving...).

Any insight?
