THE REAR SUSPENSION INNER TOE LINK HAS BEEN KNOWN TO FAIL ON THE 05 + 06 LOTUS ELISE.  I HAVE SEEN FAILURES OF THIS PART SHEARING APART ON VEHICLES WITH AS LOW AS 5000 MILES.  A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THIS PART CAUSES THE CAR TO BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNDRIVEABLE.  IT IS A SERIOUS SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED.  LUCKILY NO ONE HAS OF YET.  HERE IS AN INTERNET LINK THAT DESCRIBES THE ISSUE IN A LITTLE BETTER DETAIL, AND SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TOE LINK.  HTTP://WWW.ELISETALK.COM/FORUMS/SHOWPOST.PHP?P=392088&POSTCOUNT=34  HERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PICTURE OF A DIFFERENT FAILURE OF THIS PIECE.  HTTP://WWW.1017.ORG/TEMP/TOELINK.JPG  I UNDERSTAND THAT LOTUS SPORT HAS A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE, INCLUDING BETTER JOINTS, AND A SUSPENSION BRACE.  I WOULD URGE THE NHTSA TO PRESSURE LOTUS INTO DOING A RETROFIT FOR EXISTING CARS, AND IMPROVE THE DESIGN GOING FORWARD.    FOR SOME INFO ON THAT BRACE, HERE IS ONE INTERNET DISCUSSION.
