I'm not sure that the reinforcement kit would have helped this one. This looks like what happens when you run into a concrete parking stop, and hard. This is a long way from normal wear and tear, and I don't see how you could get this from bad roads without ripping the ball joints out first. This could also concievebly happen by dragging the car up ramps onto a trailer with the front tires flat, but the operator would have to have been using a winch and also be somewhat brain-dead at the time.
