Yeah, it just started to wobble and as I was pulling in to check what the problem was, the wheel decided to exit stage left and into some bushes. Wheel is alright, all 4 of the lugnuts are alright and the only damage to the suspension looks to be the brace that the TC rods bolt to. It was bent before, now it's really screwed up.

Yeah, it did. I fixed most of it yesterday but I have no idea why this was my reward.

Since I do have a sense of humor and all I can really do is laugh it off:
