Description of the problem	While driving i heard a clunk. Soon after my vehicle developed a vibration while accelerating/braking. I figured it was snow in the wheel wheels causing the imbalance. After washing my car and ensuring all the snow was removed, i still felt vibrations while braking/accelerating. I figured maybe my brake rotors were warped which makes no sense as i replaced both brakes and rotors last year. I went to change them and when i lifted my vehicle i saw that both the driver and passenger side rear axle bracket was broken. After investigation, this is a well documented issue in the uk but not in the us. I currently cannot drive my car as it is dangerous to drive as the handling is unstable. The rear axle bracket rusted out and broke due to poor design flaw that causes water to pool and corrode the steel due to lack of drain holes. Http://www. Practicalcaravan.
