Update: After another 40-50 hr week with the kid's driving it continuously they went to a friend's house for the evening. I decided I go play for a few!!! the wife had brought the camera and was shootig some vid and she actually caught a breakage on camera(it never happens!!) It snapped the grade 8 bolt/spindle off right at the weld behind the 1/4" re-enforcement plate. Since I had made duplicates it was and easy fix/replacement- So I finally have a FAILURE on this front end design.
