AT 40 MPH FRONT LEFT BRAKES " SELF-APPLIED" AT MAXIMUM FORCE. ABS PREVENTED COMPLETE SKIDDING OF THE TIRE, SO NO FLAT SPOT ON TIRE. THE VEHICLE LURCHED INTO A " NOSEDIVE" ONTO THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL. AFTER INCIDENT STEERING WHEEL COCKED TO LEFT AT ABOUT THE "10:00" POSITION. FLATBED TO DEALER. DEALER SHOWED ME BENT TIE ROD END, ANTI SWAY BAR AND LOWER CONTROL ARM. VEHICLE 100% FINE BEFORE INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THE SUDDEN VIOLENT WEIGHT TRANSFER ONTO FRONT LEFT CAUSED DAMAGES. DEALER UNABLE TO ROAD TEST CAR WITH BENT COMPONENTS. PARTS ON ORDER TO DEALER. WILL ROAD TEST AFTER REPAIRS GOT CASE # FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA. WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. *TR
