Hi Mike.

You'd be old enough to remember the ads on TV for the new Ford Falcon with the 'Million Pound Drive' front suspension. They were spruiking that it had cost a million pounds to develop what was a not very well executed McPherson strut. Within a few years it wasn't that unusual to see a Foul-can (We always called them that, we were a GM family) on the side of the road with a front wheel back underneath the car due to the failure of the fore and aft stabiliser rod. Not impressed.

David (Still a GM man)
