[DeTomaso] lower pantera shafts link

[John Taphorn]

Nice job, Bill.  Now your rear suspension can compress without bending the 
lower a-arm.  That has got to feel better.

I've seen these lower a-arms frozen on many Pantera's including two of mine. 
I am surprised that there are few reported incidences of the lower a-arm 
failing.

I am also curious how many other owners are driving around with this 
condition.  I'll bet there are many.

We routinely inspect the Space City Pantera members' cars for this malady 
and take preventative measures that include drilling the hub carrier to 
flood the cavity with grease.  Easy to avoid - a b%^&h to repair
