    Was it strapped to a dyno by that bar? That's the only way I've heard of someone breaking that link.

    Ya hit a curb, didn't ya..... :crying::sweat:

    The castings are JUNK on our suspension parts. I've heard of quite a few snapping off upon an impact with a curb (on Rams).

    Looks like you got real lucky it snapped while you were basically sitting still. From one of those pics it looks like one side of the "wishbone" was cracked all the way through a long time ago.

    I am truly happy with myself right now! I opened the tread and excitedly thought "LOWER CONTROL ARM"....and this response from a "true" gearhead reinforced that I am learning things here!!! lol

    I wonder if I should keep an extra one of those in the car....are they left and right side interchangable?

    Cost?
