BATMAN 07-21-2005, 11:10 AM NHTSA said Mazda Motor Corp. is recalling 27,800 2004 model-year RX8 cars as cracks may occur in the ball joint socket due to improper forging of the lower control arm. In severe driving conditions, the ball may separate from the socket and a loss of steering may occur, which could result in a crash, NHTSA said. 1revnrex 07-21-2005, 03:22 PM Im gonna move it to the RX8 forum, doin some rearranging :) socalbloater 07-21-2006, 03:18 PM DAMN.......busted ball joint could end up killling ya!!!

Oh don't worry about broken ball joints killing people. Honda's with their double wishbone suspension,which incorporates over 30 ball joints per side, has had a VERY HIGH FAILURE rate over 2 decades now, and while its funny to laugh at them on the side of the road with a wheel sticking way the fuck out, no one has died as far as i know. $100T2 07-27-2006, 08:57 PM NHTSA said Mazda Motor Corp. is recalling 27,800 2004 model-year RX8 cars as cracks may occur in the ball joint socket due to improper forging of the lower control arm.
