The main frame of the car was not affected nor did it play a role in the brackets shearing off.

After speaking with Bob today, I would gues that when the Arms where installed, that they were mounted in such a way that all of the force(s) were being applied directly to the 2 brackets on the beam. The actual bean beam that where that brackets sheared are not a part of the frame itself, it is bolted to the main frame beams, just as teh new ones are.

My guess is that the previous owner either had some suspenion work done and/or had it serviced (new bushings,etc ) and it was reinstalled incorrectly...

Once I get it out, I have a extremely qaulified welder who can do the work, He is actually a master Navy Welder on Nuc Subs. This guy can weld most anything ( steel, aluminum, stainless,etc...) We'll see what I got once it is out of the car
