After Hallett I checked toe and camber, I was happy to see that I had gained a degree of camber up to -3 deg. but I didn’t like the ¾” of toe in. Closer inspection revealed where the camber and toe came from:

So I ground out the crack

And welded it up

I also discovered that both lower front shock mounts were broken

And the right rear upper shock mount bushing was gone, so I had no dampening.

Conclusions:
Don’t fly the car, air time is fun but it is bad for the suspension.
When the driver says the car feels funny, inspect it.
The 82 car should be quick at Eagles when it has all 4 shocks working and the front wheels are pointed forward
