So tonight my Random Tch Arm broke - it just sheared off the top and bottom plates at the differential, across the forward bolt holes. Pretty good for a street tired V6, eh? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

So I need a replacement, since I threw the stocker out. Anyone have a used one I can take off your hands?

Thanks,
Jeff

Did you take any pics of it when it was out of the car on where it broke?

Totally forgot on the pics.

There's 2 bolts that tie the arm to the differential. The arm broke across the front bolt holes, both top and bottom. There was a spot of rust on the face of the lower break, with a shiny face in another area. Top was a grainy, powdery break.

I'm thinking that my old brake hop problem started a crack in the lower side (shock tensile load when a wheel jumps up, locks, and hits the ground), which slowly spread until it snapped. From there, the top half flexed back and forth until it broke soon after.
