Default How often does this happen?

While driving home I hear a single bolt fall off my car, and my car swerves out of control. A single bolt causes my car to pull straight for a curb, and then bounce off it at 50 MPH.

My rear upper a-arm bolt fell off because the threading rusted =\ Anyone who knows my car..I can thank eric for that. when we lifted the rear of the car my rear wheel gave out about 20 degrees positive camber. .

How do you fix rusted thread, or should I just cut the bolt off and find a welder?

pics up later.

I'd say get a new A- Arm dude, if it fell off once it'll fall off again.

Has there been any recent work done back there? i'm willing to be it just wasn't torqued down correctly. I've personally have never heard of this happening. Take pics!

The threading was rusted through. the bolt fell off under cornering, not hard cornering. just cornering
