Answer -
 Hello Rex:

 Im Glad its Going Good. Which Idler Arm/Arms is/are Breaking? Explain How the Arm/Arms Have Broken, Please. Does it look like a Weld Broke? Does the Metal Look Ripped? Was it Twisted at the Break? Did it Break at the Near the Piviot or Away from the Piviot? Is it the Same Arm or a Different one each time? Thanks.

 Respectfully
