mancini tube upper control arm failure....
Late in the running on this one. I am very sorry for the owner and would like to weight in with you all that I too hope no one was hurt!
One problem that I see with much of this stuff made for street or road race use is that the manufacturers don't have a huge market and they also know that most of their products end user's won't put them to heavy use because we drive antiques that are "precious"; this opposed to products that have a comparatively huge market - such as those made for 2005up Mustangs, 350Zs and Chargers - which will in fact take a beating and very often are factory certified. Therefore I suggest that most of these aftermarket parts be looked at carefully if their intended use is not just shows, etc.
