Front Suspension Control Arm problem #1

On may 23d while driving from my house in dutches county, NY on I 87 & I 287 pot holes in the road caused a noticeable “thunk” in the right rear of vehicle. In addition the handling of the car was compromised causing a swaying motion. I was told by the haundie dealership to absolutely not drive the car and was subsequently towed to dealer for repairs. Upon dealer inspection it was stated " pass side rear lower control arm is broken in half and all other control arms are extremely rusted".

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai Accent. The contact stated that the front linkage assembly was worn out. The dealer stated that both the driver and passenger side front linkage assembly stabilizers needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred.
