I've had an adventure today during autosolo:
About a month ago I had another adventure with the same ball joint, the nuts holding it in place came undone (embarrassingly, I had non-nylock nuts there). I hope that episode compromised it and there's nothing more serious with my suspension.
Luckily, I was not too far from home and I had a spare Maxi ball joint at home. A friend drove me home to pick up the joint and tools, and I was back on the road in an hour's time.
