| Description of the problem | I was driving my car down a side street at about 30 miles an hour. All of a sudden i noticed my steering wheel pull to the right, almost as if my car was out of aliment. It felt as if i was driving on snow, my traction control light came on. I started driving it to mechanic when it started violently shaking, it felt as if the back end was going to fall off. My mechanic went to take it into the bay and came over to get me. It didn't make into the bay and he was shocked when he realized what had happened. He said the control arm on the rear was so rusted out that it just snapped causing the wheel to lean in towards the inside of rear. He stated i was extremely lucky i wasn't driving on the highway when this snapped. I was driving it down a straight smooth road at 30 miles an hour. |
