Update - two years later I took this car apart. The TA bolts were fine, so the accident was due to other causes. Such as rain + high speed = a truck that wasn't there a second ago.....

Check 'em again - anyway.

PS. The driver walked away from this (after the firemen turned the car back over). Happened at 55 mph.

Quote of the day: "Man - this thing seems a lot smaller inside when it's upside-down!"
