I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND I75 IN THIRD LANE OF TRAFFIC FROM RIGHT HAND EMERGENCY STRIP. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. AT WHICH POINT I HEARD A LOUD BOOM FROM THE LEFT FRONT PORTION OF THE VEHICLE, AS IF THE TIRE GAVE OUT. I MADE MY WAY AS CLOSE TO THE SHOULDER AS I COULD. I SAW THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS DISMANTLED FROM THE CAR AND COMPLETELY TURNED BACKWARDS. AFTER HAVING CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP AND FIXED THEY GAVE ME THE LOWER BALL JOINT WHICH WAS BROKE IN TWO PIECES AND SAID THAT IT FAILED AND CAUSED ALL THE DAMAGE. *KB
