Would it be possible to get a picture without all the flash. I'm trying to look at the A-arm itself. From my view, corrosion does not look much like a factor here. More of a weak arm. Possibly cracked? Bad mold or stamping? Back in 98, I had a 95 GA and the flywheel broke right at the recessed mounting area at the crank.

Thats one hell of a fracture... and I'll bet money that a chunk of that fracture is already rusted... It it was a sudden break the metal would look clean... I'll bet that fracture has been there for some time... Looks like someone may have ran something over at one point and cuased some unseen damage due to force..
Good Luck... Glad you are ok..
