I was driving straight on the highway at approximately 65 mph when the car started moving from side to side and was difficult to control. I exited the highway and had the car towed to my auto mechanic. The issue was a broken rear right control arm. The control arm completely rusted through and separated from the frame of the car.

I was driving my vehicle about 25 mph leaving work when i heard a thud/clunk from the passenger side rear of the car. The traction control light came on, i pulled over and looked at the car. I though i had a flat because the car had been handling 'oddly' for about 30 feet. I didn't see a flat, drove the remaining mile home and when i saw the car in the driveway the passenger rear tire was at an angle to the car. It…

Without warning...i was reversing into my driveway and i heard a loud pop. When i exited the vehicle to take a look, my rear control arm snapped and dislocated the wheel.

While driving at high speeds 55mph a clunk was heard while in a turn, and the lower right end of the car sank down. The steering went completely crazy and out of control. I had to slow down to 20mph for the entire 30 mile trip home. This was the second time this happened in the last 2 months. The first time was back in january 2019 when the left one broke and almost caused me to wreck again! And now i see there is a…
