| Description of the problem | Hard clunking in the driver side front wheel. Sounded like a loose brake caliper. Removed the tire to check it out and found the lower control arm was broken in half on the one side. If it broke all the way when the car was in motion. The wheel would have come off and the car would have flipped over. This is serious. I could have been killed driving this car. *js |
