Not super common, but the k-frame across a bunch of models has been documented cracking in different places.

Could be for a variety of reasons though.

I wonder if that little buckle in your replacement K frame has been caused by a tow chain hook?

hey might of done did come from the wreckers mechanic swares they ddnt think it was like that when it left the shop but might be covering there ass or just never noticed hopefully i did have look after the mechanic was finished dont recall it looking like that i think something like stilsons if someone sabotoged it becuase there the only things small enough to fit under the car with enough force to do that

The damage definitely looks mechanical and a tow hook could well be a culprit, must of been a bloody rough towie to do that sort of damage though.

****, I wonder what I was taking about then?

Thought you might of been talking about the torn one

Really doubt it was sabotage. If I was going to sabotage somebody's car, trying to bend their k-frame with hand tools would literally be the last thing I would try, who would even think of that?

Why did you replace it?

its odd but there are odd people on my street the dude next door i had falling out with used to be a engine stripper and had a lot to do with cars he said maybe he knows something about k frames at that perticular spot and its not such an obvious sabotage when it comes to the law the reason i replaced it is in the pictures the one where the corner is torn off around the bolt hole the exact same place the new one is bent[/QUOTE]
