Re: Lower Control Arm (PDC SS option)



On a significant # of cars that I have seen I have noticed that the
lower control arms are bent. It seems that in many cases when a car is
towed or hauled onto a carrier the operator uses recovery hooks and
places them on the lower control arms. Since they weren't made to be
used in that way they get damaged. On many other imported cars they
have put warning labels on the LCA's to try and keep ham-handed tow
truck operators from damaging undercarriage parts in this manner. This
is one of the great benefits of going to a club meet and having the
car inspected. In many cases it is the first time the car was ever
inspected underneath. Better to find the beginnings of a problem and
deal with it before it becomes catastophic. In this case I wonder if
the failures of the LCA's is related to damage caused by towing. For
the future try to make sure if the car is ever recovered that the tow
operator uses the hooks on the frame and not the lower control arms to
pull the car.
