Default Mustang drop spindles
Luckily this happened on the first run of an Auto-x and not out on public roads.

Great example of why you should be buying quality suspension parts from a suspension company and not a fiberglass/composites company.

The failed spindle shown in the OP photo appears to be from MAIER RACING (NOT MIKE MAIERS!) as it looks exactly like the one shown here::

Last year I was more concerned with the deflection of the steering arm. Imagine a sticky wide tire working against that caliper mount...well, no need to imagine I guess.
