    It looks like you didn't replace the same parts on the passenger side, but you would be smart to do the same parts on the other side. They're likely in the same condition as the ones that failed. It would be wise to replace those as well.

    hey justin, I read this whole post just because I hate to see mechanical wreckage. the question that came to mind I ask in all sincerity...
    did you not notice or hear clunking and rattle noises in the months and weeks preceding this wreck?

    I did not notice at all I had just drove from Massachusetts to New Jersey 4 weeks prior the only thing I ever noticed was at full tilt if I hit my driveway to fast it would make a rubbing noise but I figured was my tires just being at full turn

    That failure would have been a lot uglier if it happened while you were running 70 MPH down an interstate.
