Description of the problem	The lower, right rear control arm has cracked, but not failed fortunately. It is in the nissan shop right now. The diagnosis is that that the left side is probably going to fail in time. I looked a the mechanic's observations and i agreed with the diagnosis, so i had no choice but to tell the service guy to make the repair on both sides. The car has about 80,000 miles on it, now, but the noise started about 10,000 miles ago. I noticed a thumping noise at low speeds, especially when going over small bumps, and especially speed bumps. This should be considered a recall, but most altima owners don't know about the problem and are likely going to find out after a failure. Hopefully, the will failure will not be catastrophic. I question the metallurgy and more importantly the welding methods use on the original control arms. Hopefully nissan realizes that they have a potentially huge liability issue here.
