I'm leaning towards balljoints as well. My brother's cougar had a balljoint fail (two days after it was 'replaced' by a local shop who then went on to deny warrenty, or tried too) and it did pretty much the same thing.

im still saying it is bagged and the LF corner is aired out more. why would the other side be so low? i know it would be a little lower, but it sits to even to be stock height.

I said lower ball joint because the torsion goes into the lower control arm. if the upper broke the wheel would be tilted in at the top but wouldn't drop down as much. With the lower ball joint broke the wheel goes all the way into the fenderwell because there are no bumpstops on the upper conrol arm. Then the lower control arm cut down the tire.

Still it's no factory error, the guy nailed something big and hard at a high speed and blew his, um.., tire, and broke his, um.., ball, um.. joint.

I may be crazy or it's the angle but in the zoomed in shot those nerf bars don't seem to be running parallel with the body which means a possible hit to the frame.
