I second Don Stark's comments regarding L23 suspension checks. I
had a similar failure of a right front, lower A Arm without any
warning. Fortunately, my incident happened just after I had braked
hard for a turn and I was able to go straight off the course onto an
escape road. The car doesn't steer at all with one wheel jammed in
the wheel well!
After bringing the car home, I checked all the other A Arms and
found the lower left front one had a slight downward bend and was
out of round. A failure waiting to happen. These A arms were brand
new when I restored the car three years ago. So check those
components between each race during a weekend and during your pre-
race prep.
