Listers: I know I'm playing Monday morning quater back here, but is there
anyway to find out if this disaster was caused by a front end failure?
Having experienced both lower ball joint and fulcrum pin failures, I could

A loud pop followed by on side of the car dropping violently to the pavement
can seem like a tire failure at first.
