Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“What happened: while driving at 20 MPH I heard a loud bang and swerving of the vehilce which I thought was a flat tire. I found that the left rear wheel fell off causing loss of control of the vehicle which I was able to stop without crashing due to my emergency vehicle driving with the state patrol. When stopped saw that the wheel had fallen off and the control arm broken. (photo) diagnosis: north bend chev repaired the vehicle and found that the left rear control arm had severed (photos) in half damaging the axle. The threads on the inside of the control arm appear to be worn away. …”
