My wife was driving her '02 CR-V a couple of days ago when she heard a pop and it started to pull to the left. She pulled over right away and found that the bolts that attach the end of the trailing arm to the chassis had both pulled out of the mounts. A friend that does welding and mechanical work looked at it today and said if we can get the pieces that weld onto the bottom of the car for the bolts to attach to it can probably be fixed.
Here's what it looks like
Seen from below
The "good" side with the part needed marked. There are 2 of these "bumps" (mounting points for the arms) on each side and from what I can tell they are all different. We would want the set of 4 so that we can rebuild the rusted areas on both sides with new material and replace these mounting points on both sides.
The question is: Are these parts available or should we be looking for a new car?
