Consumer Description

I MADE A RIGHT TURN OFF OF M59 IN HOWELL, MI ON TO N OLD US HWY 23. I SLOWED TO ALMOST A STOP, YIELDING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO KROGER. UPON TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD I HEARD SOMETHING BREAK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. UPON INVESTIGATION THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN NEAR THE BALL JOINT. IT WAS NOT A BALL JOINT FAILURE, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM EITHER FATIGUED OR SHEARED, MAYBE DUE TO CORROSION. THE DRIVERS SIDE HALFSHAFT WAS PULLED FROM THE TRANSAXLE AT THE INNER CV JOINT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FRIENDS HOUSE IN THE AREA AND IT SITS THERE PENDING A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER SO THAT REPAIRS CAN BE MADE. I LIVE IN LANSING WHICH IS AN HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE MY CAR IS. I PLAN TO TAKE PICTURES AND INVESTIGATE MORE WHEN I GET THE PARTS AND RETURN TO REPAIR IT, IF POSSIBLE. *TR UPDATED 04/22/09.*JB
