    Had that exact failure happen at lower speeds on a dirt road, when I braked and turned to avoid a kangaroo about 6-12 mths after buying the Patrol. Luckily for me all that happened was the front end started to weave all over the place and I braked as I mounted the edge of the road. The only explanation I can think of is the idiot the car yard hired to do the road worthy placed the dished washer on the wrong way, so the poly bush loosened the nut as it swiveled. The washer should have the dish (concave) facing out towards the nut so the centre clamps tightly on metal when done up. You should go get a Tatts ticket, mate.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
