Came home from Maple Grove and decided to go to a local car cruise monday night. Got about 1.5 miles away from home only doing about 20 mph when a ball joint broke. Wheel tipped in and jammed only grinding a little metal from wheel and rotor. Its only a 11:50 @ 116 mph. Slid the rubber boot down on the other side and the ball is getting ready too bust out of the socket. Just a little something to take a peek at especially you wheelie guys who go fast.

You have the blue 63 Tempest right?
I had a dark blue 63 Tempest with a 326 back in 1971 and I was backing out of the driveway onto the street a little (Ok a Lot quicker) than I should -- and had the ball joint on the left side come through the A-frame and the wheel turned sideways.
I wonder if that's a flaw of the 63 Pontiac.
