I had a right front axle shaft (dogbone) disappear on me today. Looks like my upper control arm magically popped off from the rod that holds it in place. I don't notice ANYTHING broken that would have caused it. Maybe you can see something I don't?
Was doing a bunch of high speed runs on a grass field and noticed that it was very hard for the truck to turn back towards my direction. Once I got it close enough, I saw that the right front tire was limp. Upon further inspection I saw the control arm off, Tried to put it back in place until I realized that it was held by the rod...
Anyway, during that short time the truck was acting really wierd after WOT runs back and forth. It sounded like the throttle jumped back up? I'd slow the truck down but it would rev up and go faster, had to hold the brake down a bit to drop the rpm's.
