What broke in my suspension?

And you had to quote me to give your opinion?

Yes. You're suggesting he buys an entire crossmember from you without having seen a single thing, which is completely overkill and I'm sure has a lot to do with the fact that you're trying to sell the him the part.

He's in Southern California. While it's not impossible for the rear anchor failure (if that's even what he has) to be from rust in the crossmember, it's more likely that it's just from a lousy factory weld. Either way, no one has seen pictures yet so suggesting he buys an entire crossmember from you is more greed than help.

I was going to blame it on the poly LCA bushings to get you to chime in. It doesn't even take that anymore.

Just took another set of those powdered up poly bushings out of another car that came here. The guy said he put them in 3 years ago. I told him he didn't install them properly like you said. Yours lasted over 20 yrs. Putting the lube on takes experience. You know whacks on Whacks off. I warned him. You gotta have the correct amount of lube .

And what does this have to do with helping the OP figure out his car?

Just more grandstanding. No need to derail this thread too just because you still don't understand the basics of why installing poly bushings is different from rubber.
