glad your ok but something doesnt seem right, that kind of damage and flipping 3 times has to be over 60+ mph. Hmm...

I don't see adjustable end-links in your sig. I remember reading that when people broke their stockers on the track they would lose steering and spin out. Were the sways on the stiffest setting?

yeah it was the rt34 connector. I didn't have the sways on the hardest setting but they were stockers and were replaced 10k miles ago. but even if they broke, wouldn't that happen on a curve? wouldn't a straight away not be effected, or would it? i'm gonna get a ride down there tomorrow and take a look at the upper arms and see if they came loose, and maybe pull out my turbo xs utec if know one is looking lol.

Its hard to call without hearing the noises your suspension was making prior to your accident (if any at all). I remember reading 1 guy breaking them on the freeway and going 3 lanes over toward the right and scraping up his front end but he was able to stop. What ever it was its to late to fix now. Sounds like your suspension had issues though. Did you do it yourself?

At least you nor anybody else got seriously hurt.

yeah it could of. there was know noises at all and I do, do all my own work, but am a mechanic and ever month I do an oil change fluid check, and shake down all the wheels, thats how I knew those spl arms came lose so i re-tightened them and was gonna reck check on tuesday(my day off) but i don't think thats gonna happen. I don't really know if thats the cause for sure, so I didn't want to give spl a bad rap for it my not be there fault, but I do have my suspicions :/
