Gotta love it
Well, I should've known this was bound to happen sooner or later. A few years ago, the driver's side did the same thing.
I had to baby it back through the trail to the house again. I did end up dragging the arm on some pavement, but I already knew it was trashed, and figured going slow enough wouldn't hurt the other parts. It's back in the garage now, and I've got a part or two to order.

I can't quite see what happened, so the a-arm broke, the ball joint, spindle? I can't quite tell, but it looks bad!

The a-arm itself snapped across the middle of the bolt hole. It broke in the same place on the driver side a few years ago - luckily I wasn't going too fast when it broke! I got some whiplash the first time it happened on the driver side.
Just ordered the replacement arm. They were out of black, so it'll have to be silver. Oh well

LOL Bear! Toast, just give it some rattle can black and 10 minutes to dry and get back out there!

It sure does look good in mud
 That's a good point, will have to consider painting it. Then again, you won't be able to tell once the whole thing's covered in mud!
