rust is a bitch.... **** happens... not gonna be a recall sorry

i really dont think it should be related to rust, because that needs to be a really strong spot in the car, it should last the lifetime of the car

also if it was a rust thing, there would be alot of cars up here that are bracking in the same spot.. But i could be wrong.

im just wondering if anyone in the club has had thing happend or seen this happen..

Would it be possible to get a picture without all the flash. I'm trying to look at the A-arm itself. From my view, corrosion does not look much like a factor here. More of a weak arm. Possibly cracked? Bad mold or stamping? Back in 98, I had a 95 GA and the flywheel broke right at the recessed mounting area at the crank.

yup no problem when i get home from work today ill take some more pics, i took those last night right affter the flat bed droped my car at home...

yup thats what i was thinking that maybe someone took the car off roading and bottumed it out a few times in the back. i had 151,000 miles on it when i got it so theres alot of time for something to happen.

im VARY F'n lucky that i didn't crash i was going 60mph down the highway and then BANG THUD... car started shakeing all around and back left tire was flopponng around... it was pretty scarry feeling that....

i have a rear control arm i could sell ya

i think i may have found one junk yard near me for $50... but if i cant find one ill PM you

there are alot of different cars you can get a lower control arm from

88-99 olds,pontiac and such

Get BOTH rears and carefully inspect the fronts, too.

Save the bushings for me from your donor arm if you get it. I'll want measurements and pics.
