Mounting bracket of right front strut snapped, right front of car collapsed and bent sway bar, which gouged and ruined tire. Occurred at low speed on smooth pavement. If we had been traveling at highway speed, the failure would have been catastrophic. I still have part and can E-mail picture of it.
