also if it was a rust thing, there would be alot of cars up here that are bracking in the same spot.. But i could be wrong.
im just wondering if anyone in the club has had thing happend or seen this happen..

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..![Wink](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/wink.gif)
