Has anyone broke one of these yet? (Rear Lower Control Arm Endlink Tab)

[coolman]

Maybe GTAHVIT poured acid on your wheels. LOL

Sorry I read about your continuing wheel issues.

Maybe you should get the hole story.

Nah. Wheel issues for me are over. On to the next set.

And, see, I put some drag radials on 18 inch wheels on the back of my car at the last minute. So he gives me the asterisk

I wish I could have been there to see it. I bet it was a really fun weekend no matter who one.

And I don't know if you saw my reply to your post about the tabs on the fix it bracket ,but I agree with you on this. I will be tig welding mine in except instead of buying them we're just going to make a template and have some made at our local machine shop. I think the main problem is that split in the top of the factory tab. It needs to be one piece.

It's not your fault that he brought a knife to a gun battle.

And he handed me the gun.

You mean you beat him with his own tires. Point me to the thread expanding all of this. It sound interesting.

I wonder how many people have this problem and don't even know it.

If it wasn't for the noise I was hearing I would have never thought to look.

Yup. I heard a noise but thought it was something else. I just happened to be under the car. Doing the bushings I think, when I looked around and noticed it.

I have that notch on my control arms as well. Doesn't look like a crack though. Had to track down a rattle, was a loose endlink in the rear. Diagnosing suspension noise alone is tough! I've been eyeballing Spohn LCA

Something to note. There is not split or gap in the endlink tab on the stock LCA... if you have one on your Tab it is failed/failing... we confirmed this with GM at the fest.. That tab is one solid piece of metal no crack/gap/joint/seam at the top.

If Pete is correct, even the aftermarket ones could do it. Unless reenforced at the top AND bottom. I haven't seen that arm though. It might already be.
