I sort of expect it on some cars, the last a certain number of years type, but not a maserati. Overlooked what Di Tomasi tried to do with the brand.
Still have the Italian convertablised biturbo s (2l) car minus the shell. That maserati has the nicest leather I have put my arse on for a long time. The 228 I got was a fucking wrong 'un but it was payment in lieu, should have walked away. But as the idiot that I am, I walked it to it as I thought the biturbo suspension would swap and could use the left over bits in to a car and run around in a maserati till I sold it. Was wrong, still there and still can't let go.
If you are ever bored, look how fiat cheapened the suspension on the fulvia, from beautifully welded tube, that were adjustable, on the series 1 and 1.5 to cheap stamped u channel on the series 2.

Seen some right crappy bits of suspension on some surprising cars recently. Legacy (2005/10 age), Toyota saloon car (avensis? 2012) and Honda crv (2011j) all in for top mounts and bush's, but ended up replacing whole wishbone (bush's fine) because of horrific poke your finger through it rust.
Shouldn't wishbones be cast? Like always? None of those cars I would deam a bargain basement car (like an "mg" whatever that thing is. £6K brand new. These ones were all pressed and tack welded together very poorly imo.
Imagine if a wishbone just gave way on you, nasty.
