Common to break at low speeds

According to the shop I use, they usually break when "turning in to the driveway" due to the funny suspension angles. They told me the things don't break at speed, or at least they've never had one do that. Mine was cracked, and I was pretty paranoid about it. Anyway, I ordered a new one, and before it got there my wife was backing out of the driveway and, boom. Just like the shop said, and just like many of you have seen. It's a super easy replacement, took me about an hour start to finish. I wish I'd take the few extra minutes to replace all the bushings while I had it apart; that would be my advice. I got a used set (both lowers) for $35.
