Well, I have talked with Maurice at Unique and Bob Evans about how this may have happened.

When I purchased the car it had a "creak" noise in the front supension and I inspected it and saw nothing. I then added the Zerk fittings to the A-arms and the noise went away..... So in hind-sight, I think that the previous owner may never had the greased the front end and they may have been frozen up and started to weaken the brackets.... it is obvious that the previous owner may have been a bit mechanically challanged and really did not know what to check and maintain....Which is ok now that I know what to look for...which is, anything he may have tried to do himself.

So I am going to re-do both sides and install all new bushings throughout. In addition to the rest of the items I have planned ( stroked 427,aluminum radiator, etc....

I truly feel that my Unique is great car that was built right, when it came from Unique.... it rides solid,,no shakes,no rattles and stays straight as an arrow...even at 130+mph.... I just need to go through and make sure that everything is checked and rechecked.... The Weaver family has been extremely helpful and has showed phenominal customer service ( and I did not even buy it from them!) I have been slowly updating and modifying everything on it and I feel that when the snow melts this winter, I will have a like new Cobra for the track & Street.

PoorBoy: the A-arms are flat on both sides... so I think they may have been frozen or bolts loose....or both! Thanks for your help!
