Broken kingpin
#6
That was my first thought that it was too brittle. No idea how old it was, a lot more than 20 years though.

I reckon the first break occurred 30 miles or so before the second - the steering became sufficiently vague that I stopped to check tyres and wheel nuts. Just before home the brakes started to affect the steering quite noticeably and I knew something was wrong. Thankfully both breaks were within the height of the axle eye so it all held together, just! No harm done.
