Guys,
Thanks for the concern.

Okay, here's what happened to my car..........
Well, no it was more like... a... a...
If I had to explain it I would say..........
So what I think is……….
The truth of the matter is -- I am really fricken S-T-U-P-I-D.
There is no way I should have started a repair like this in the middle of the driving season. I should wait till December.

I decided to work on my pinion angle issue.
So, I started loosening rear end connections. I disconnected the lower control arms completely. I was turning the upper control arms to change the angle. Before I knew it I had the entire rear end disconnected or loose. That's when happened. That's when I broke the upper control arm.
Y’all know how it is – you use really large wrenches so you have a large lever and all kinds of torque.
Well before I knew what happened the car is in parts in the garage and I broke one of the required parts get it back together.
So, now I am trying to get a machine shop to fashion the required part. Getting a new one from Auto Weld will take awhile.
Like I said I am S-T-U-P-I-D.

Rich
