mancini tube upper control arm failure....

I have to disagree. IMO, having a gusset there would help limit the torsional stresses at the joint cup even if the weld was properly done. For others like me that are shopping for arms, IMO, should think twice about that design. The owner is lucky, it could have been a lot worse. I hope that that car get on the road soon. Cheers!

I disagree. Look at the arm. Barley bent at all. That should be bent to he'll before it should break. And on top of that the metal on either side of that weld should have broken before the weld. There is no need for a gusset if the proper material is used and the weld is good. Even if that arm had a gusset it may have taken a little longer to break but it was still breaking
