I am really frustrated that we are unable to get to the source of these problems.

Here is a picture of the other car.
I agree with your comments on the parts breakage. The thing that really makes you wonder is on a Volks Rod application the front end has just a small fraction of the weight that a V8 powered rod has on the front end. Those front ends are built for V8's, just look at the number of leaves in that spring. Scary breakage.
