I had my brake line fixed on my right rear today. When I got to the shop they put my car back on the lift to show me that the right rear suspension is ripping away from the frame. The bracket that holds the upper control arm to the frame is cracked almost completely through. Also the whole right side of the rear end support is pulled away from the bottom of the car enough to stick you hand behind it. There are a couple of other spots that have moved as well. This explains why my brake line was moved away from the frame. I am going to the dealer in the morning to let them see the problem. Has anyone else had this problem?

Also should I worry about taking off any of my mods? I am going to change out the prochamber with the stock pipe, but that is all I had planned on taking off.

Can't imagine that anything you have would cause that to happen. Guess it's never a bad idea to put it back to stock before going in though.

Do you drag race? Use drag radials or slicks?

sounds like you have ripped your torque boxes. Look through a mm&ff and there is an article in there with a kit that replaces that whole peice. If it is still under warranty then I would take it to a dealership.

No I do not drag race. I have the stock Goodyear tires from the factory. I think that the car is still under the factory warranty. If not I got the extended warranty, 5yrs 75k miles, when I bought the car. How could this have happened on stock tires, without drag racing?
