Description of the problem	While driving on the highway i heard a "pop" and the steering became unstable on my 2013 nissan altima with the car veering left and right. I took my foot off the gas and was able to guide the car off to the side of the highway without incident. I thought i had a blow out but the tires were fine. If it had been rush hour i probably would have collided with another car. I was able to slowly drive the car off the highway and to a local nissan dealer where they indicated i had a rear control arm failure. The left rear tire was clearly leaning outward and the steering wheel was way out of alignment. Nissan replaced (see attached receipt) the link compl rear, link complete, r; two rod connecting and adsorber kit. They also aligned the car. I had them repair both the broken left suspension items as well as the right as i didn't want this to happen again. I do believe this failure is a serious safety issue and really could have caused a crash in heavy traffic. This incident occurred on the highway when i was travelling in a straight line.
