My 1987 dodge d150 pickup truck has a left front lower control arm bracket that is pulling away from the truck frame, resulting in a loss of steering control. There is no evidence of rust, rot or impact damage. The rivets holding the lower control arm bracket to the frame simply pulled out of the frame. I did find one recall reference but could not find any information on it: 020587a dec 87 suspension - vehicle low on left side can you help me? Thanks, gary *tr
