track bar fell off last night lol. At the axle, the bolt was gone. Was surprised that I could make it home, just had to turn the wheel 3x as much as usual.. Didn't go over 30 though. Was scary as **** though

was looking more for tires with 85%+ threat. Need tires that will last me a while. Got me a 2nd job at ohare UPS then I have to go back to Northbrook UPS For my first job. Gonna be doing a lot of driving. We'll see how gas mileage treats me.

What kind of track bar did you have? Why did the bolt come out? Your axle would have been moving back and forth with every turn, only the control arms would be keeping it from shifting more.

Rc adjustable. I'd been hearing some rattling lately but couldn't pinpoint it. I guess the bolt was just coming loose. I hit some bumps at about 55 and bam. Heard it dragging on the ground and saw some chick at the next stop light looking at it, I guess it was sparking lol. I was only about half a mile from home so I just babied her the rest of the way
