Description of the problem	Noticed a noise while driving home the other day thought it may have been my exhaust rattling around, so i got under vehicle to inspect the noise, and what i found was that the rear part of the frame has rusted away and the brackets for the rear trailing arms had detached from the frame allowing the arms to drop, and on this particular side the brake lines are attached to this control arm. I know that toyota had a similar recall on the truck frames for rust perforation, and that jeep had one on the liberty for the rear lower control arms rusting and breaking. I am an automotive technician and my personal jeep is not the first one i have seen with this potentially dangerous condition. I also googled this problem and found that its very common in these vehicles as well.
