You have to be greatful that the failure happened at low speed so the damage was minimal. If the ball joints were replaced during the resto process it might be worth getting in contact with the supplier and letting them know. They might of had a bad batch of nuts.

Rodney's brother did all the work, he is the service manager at the local ford dealership...he is at a loss as why it happened...Rodney never found the nut he did have a look for it to see if it was stripped....but the otherside had a split pin in it and was in place, so maybe that broke...mystery....
