Broken Bushing
A 2 inch bushing. That’s all I found on the road after the loud crunch I heard while taking a turn in the Camaro. I only had a little further to go so after I arrived at my destination I took a better look. In the dark garage I couldn’t see anything wrong and I was on a tight schedule. After a long weekend away, I gave it a quick test drive and the handling was a little funky, but nothing out of the ordinary. Fast forward a couple of weeks and the tire opposite the crunch side made a rubbing noise like something was against it. I pulled it in the garage to change the oil and checked out the rubbing noise. After taking the tire off I noticed a bushing connected to the stabilizer… hmmm. So I took off the other tire and to my surprise it was just gone… there was nothing connecting the stabilizer bar to the A-arm. Scary. And this was after doing some “cruising” home late one night down I80/I94. This could have been an easy crash and burn to say the least… one heck of a wreck if you will. All that to say God is very gracious to us, even when things are broken.
We are too,
Lane
