“Att: NHTSA I have a 90 turbo conv and while driving my lower a-arm broke where the weld is. I have heard this to be a problem with 900's that have over 100,000 miles on them but have found no recalls. I was doing 65 MPH at the time it broke but if this had been someone else or if I had been going faster you could have lost control of the vehicle, luckily I was able to pull over with minor damage. This failure did not happen in reverse as most people claim.........it happened while moving forward at 65 MPH.........this is my concern. …”
