“For 2 days prior to incident , noticed steering wheel kept changing orientation while driving in a straight line. A lot of groaning and creaking noise from right front suspension in right turns as well as vibration at highway speed. Parked vehicle and inspected underside to find that idler arm bracket was tearing away from frame rail due to rot. After parking vehicle , I moved it around in the driveway no more than 3 times before idler arm bracket completely separated from the frame rail with a very loud pop.. Van now has no steering and is junk sitting in my driveway. …”
