control arm broke and oil pan destroyed

[atomic]

I have a buddy who had a CA break on him. IIRC it was a mayle brand he bought off of ebay new. It broke completely through at the inner ball joint. The break caused him to have zero steering input and immediately ran off the side of the road @ 40mph and hit a telephone pole dead center on the right frame rail totaling his car.

I will see if he still has any pictures of the one that broke on him...

I PM'd him when i bumped this... i dont think he's been around

if the man says it broke, then it probably broke, why lie. but I want to see where and how.
I bought an e30 a few years back that was FUCKED. guy said an arm broke on him while he was on the highway and well i dont know really happened. But when i pulled the interior, i found that it was infact TWO different cars, joined right through the middle of the cabin. what a mess. delphin front with a black back.

I've had Meyle or Lemfoerder from bmaparts for close to 3 years, no issues here. They are under $100 each.

Control arms don't just break in half all on their own! I have seen them severely bent and still not broken!
