1 Front Suspension Lower Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2001

Weld splitting at right lower control arm. Dealer said not under warranty even though the weld should be the strongest part. I was aslo told they had seen one or two other trucks with this problem. This also caused right front brake pad/rotor to freeze up as in metal to metal with no warning requiring me to replace rotor and pads.
