 Forward mounting bracket for the lr upper control arm for the suspension sheared...further investigation has shown a crack in the frame rail underneath the bracket. not sure what came first, the crack in the frame, causing the bracket to shear off, or the bracket failing, putting stress on the frame and cracking the frame...either way...not good!!*aki
