The bad news (other than having to change my underwear) is that my drivers side A-arm broke at 60ish mph on a 4 lane highway just after taking a moderate curve. The good news is that I was able to control the '88 SPG enough -- despite the wheel turned 90 degrees -- to get it onto the shoulder. I was fortunate that traffic was light since I had to get it across another lane quickly to get it onto the shoulder. Don't know why it chose not to break on the curve -- would have been more difficult but I think it could be controlled -- but waited until I hit a straight section of road.
