This will most likely be a defective assembly or poor engineering.bolt for upper spindle to ball joint broken or missing and ball joint shaft sheared off. Brake line broken off and axle seperated from the housing. Recommend a recall on this very poor design and or a replacement of all these ball joints produced by whatever company made this ball joint.
