Default Pics of FAILED control arm
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/57509/dcp_0593.jpg"></center><p>My front lower control arm on the drivers side snapped off at the bushing the other day. Finally have pics, see my PICPOSTER for pics of the arm and bushing. Car couldnt be towed due to the limp wheel endangering my fenders. I got all the tools and parts to fix it, will update when finished. Anyone ever heard of this before? Luckily i was parking when it snapped or it could have been real bad.
