There was very little warning to the failure. The vehicle drove fine until one day it developed a clunk in the front that was worse than the several that were already there. About this same time the steering began to feel sloppy as well. When I looked under the car the front sub-frame was rusted to the point where the a-arm disconnected itself from the sub-frame. The front of the a-arm is now floating free. This is the cause of the steering slop. The only way to fix this problem is to replace the entire sub-frame. This is the frame that holds the engine, transmission and suspension to the vehicle. The vehicle is no longer safe to drive.
