My wife cussed me out and I thought maybe I hit a hole I didn't see.I live in these horse farms, therefore I do not shit where I eat...that said most of these roads are terrible. I read one other story almost identical they figured it failed gradually instead of all at once.

Why are you even here.. It's a ZL1 forum...

A heavy duty part like an LCA would have evidence of earlier damage/cracking.

An easy way to tell would be rust around the edges of the break and mostly clean metal in the middle.

OP would you post a pic of what broke? I for one would like to see that.

I'd like to see a pic too. The LCA is not the only thing holding the bottom of the knuckle. The tire sticking out like a broken bone does not make sense to me if the tierod and radius arm are still connected.
