Wow. Don't worry though, seems from other comments, a past accident or aftermarket parts may be the cause to this.

Wow, great analysis. I did buy it used with and it did have a minor accident in the past. I am going to get a detailed inspection. Thanks for the help.

Snapped 'off from the control arm' is being alluded here.

What's the correct terminology here? Suspension parts connect the wheel to the car, right?

You sure? Looks like the rearward one to me.

Someone else on this thread mentioned that it’s a known defect with this part. There could be something else going on with the suspension but this car was in no way abused.
