Default My Lexus with custom wide fenders & slammed!

I was driving on 610 when I hit a pothole and heard a LOUD ass noise.I thought maybe my tire had popped.I slid mad tyte drift style and almost hit a wall.When I got somewhat back in control I started leaning to the side lane.The car was hesitating and I was like wtf? Thought maybe the tire was flapping or something.I looked out the window and saw this....



















**BONUS DAYTIME PIC**


Oh well atleast I didnt hit the wall.Whenever I was on the freeway the wheel face was completely facing the back.It looked WAY worse.Gonna inspect the damages tomorrow to see if I wanna claim it on the insurance.I dont think those parts are supposed to snap like that.

Now people will see why I need more than 3 cars.If my NSX and s2k are both getting work done and my daily goes out,I need a daily - daily!

Wow...infamous Lexus ball joint failure. This is a horrible phenomenon with the 2nd gen GS owners.

Good to know the only thing hurt was the car.

Glad this happened at night and you did not get hurt nor anybody else. That must be some kind of defect...

Wow, thats really horrible. Glad you didn't get hurt, hopefully insurance can help with that, i am guessing that there is no way you still have a warranty on that year?
