I'm a noob.
What did you do exactly?
Excuse me for not knowing practically anything about the working of cars.

EDIT: Ha you DO drive a Saturn. Not that I recognise it having never been to America...

OMG!!! ITS A DISC BRAKE!!!!!

I cant see wassup either, and im no noob... state wot we are ment to be looking at, all it looks like to me is that your brake disc is slightly over worn.

EDIT: ok i see now, skipped the 1st 2 pix exactly where did it snap?

Ok children, my Saturns a good car so dont make fun of it. What happened was i took the corner, a deep, shitty, Colorado corner, and when i came out of it my steering was REALLY light. What your looking at is a wheel thats got WAAAY too much toe-out and positive camber. Ive been working on it and the only prob is the bracket holes on the shock dont line up with the bracket holes on the hub. Theres absolutely NO damage to the to the control arm or ANYTHING else, i cant even see stress fractures or stretch marks from any bending. Ill be taking it easy after i fix this, and yes, no more fast turns or trail braking. If ya need any more pics ill be glad to take and post em...


Heres a few pics or the anti-sway bar and the damper...
