I take a left hand turn I hear cracking; backing up I hear cracking; like the front axle is falling apart. There is a control arm recall but not on my car just police cars. The issue with my car sounds like the police issue car. I am kinda of scared pulling out into traffic scary, twice I have had the traction control come on and say it needs service; but when you shut the car off light doesn't come back on. It drives funny as well do not feel safe anymore.

While driving heard a loud clunking sound as I turn the steering wheel. Upon inspection, right hand lower control arm bushing found to be defective. Using NHTSA database found recall on only police vehicles and cannot get answer why only those vehicles were recalled and not mine.

A 2009 chevy Impala police package cruiser car came into our shop this morning . The complaint was of chirping tires sound around turns. Upon inspection we found that the right lower control arm has broken away from the bushing area. Causing the alignment to be off and the control arm to be unstable. This condition could have lead to a accident if gone undetected or resulted in loss of control during a high speed pursuit. This is the second vehicle to have this condition. We have grounded our fleet of cruisers so they can be brought in and inspected one at a time. We have found one additional car that the arm is cracked but not yet broken through. All of the defects have been on the right side upto now.
