I don't think that part of the car is suppose to be that close to the ground.

And the more I look, it seems that alot of the rest of the car is missing.

Well it was a good guess.





The swaybar end link must have pulled through the weak control arm making a gaping hole, and then the rest was history... Responded just like a busted ball joint, ripped the axle apart, and destroyed the left front fender.

This is all on the corsica my ex used to drive, I work on her fathers race car still and he had this car in his yard from his youngest daughter driving it and needed it mobile again so he could sell it, so I donated my 1996 subframes and swaybar... and once again the 95 swaybar was much larger... very odd.

Either way I get the money for the sale of the car so he's gonna try it at $500 parts or repair.  Only 102k on it.

Rusty control arms FTL!

Welded control arms FTW (especially in that case!)
