Steering problem #1

My car passenger side control arm has dry rotted and cracked in half I noticed this because my car steering wheel has never turned all the way to the right side so as I pulled up to the store, I had got out my car to check to see what the problem was and come to find out that the lower control arm by the lower ball joint was cracked in half from the control arm.

Steering problem #2

While pulling out of a parking lot, the front left corner of car fell down and there was a sound like I hit a pothole. The road was clear. At this point the vehicle became difficult to steer. I had the car towed to my house and after further inspection, I noticed the lower control arm had rotted out and broke.
