Subject: E/36 rear suspension failure

I was at NHIS this week end and saw another M/3 E/36 rear control arm pull out of the body. That's 22 of them I know about. If you have modified your springs or sway bars keep your eye on it. The welds around the three bolts that hold the bushing on the arm rip thru the body. Tell/tale is a rattle in the rear you can't figure out over bumps, or you hit the throttle and the car dives left. This one was on the right side, like all the rest.
