I got a crack in my left rear susension area on my 99 Q45t it has 73500 miles on it. I don't know what it is. I just know my wheel is towed in big time. and I took a look from the rear of the car and spotted a crack. my car tire chirps when I turn. And when I hit a bump my rear comes from under the car. Any help would be big. I need the name of the part so I know what I gotta shell out.

Rather confused with some of your term like "towed in" and "my rear comes from under my car." Are you saying you have excessive negative camber or excessive negative toe? Is one of the arms cracked? Or just a bushing failed? Tire wear pattern will tell you a lot, assuming correct inflation pressures.

Start with the FSM and inspect it carefully and post back, please.

You described it exactly. I just got new rear Goodyears mounted and balanced. So I think the arm is cracked. What am I lookin at repair wise and can I do it myself? I noticed a crack in the arm when I layed down and looked at the tires from the back of the car.

No it does not look corroded it looks like I hit a pothole and it cracked. The FSM won't come up on my phone. I'm at work. I need the part name so I can order it ASAP. Before I leave work. That would be greatly appreciated.

I guess you can't post a picture?

Best to get on the phone with IOS and describe it to them as you view it.
