After pulling into our camping spot this weekend, and starting to disconnect, I noticed that the end of the rear spindle bolt (yellow in the picture below) on the passenger side lower control arm was sheared off at the nut (green in the picture below). The nut and washer are somewhere on the dirt road to the campsite, or the highway.

The bushing was still intact though, and protruded as far as normal through the control arm. The back side of the spindle bolt is splined to match the torsion bar, and is prevented from sliding backward. I wheeled it like that all weekend and it held together although I'll be replacing it this week.

Just wondering if anyone else had broken one as I find it very odd. It's protected, and nothing can really hit it. One day it was there, the next, it wasn't.
