Broken Steering cable nut

[Ken Bowers]

UPDATE: I got my Orange Hummer H2 back yesterday, with a new steering arm.

The old arm was returned to me. It has a sheared pin, which is about 1/2 inch steel. I do not see how such a pin can shear off, and I suspect it was cut, or was defective when installed (2003).

The mechanic told me it could not have been cut, because it is unreachable when installed. How can it be unreachable, when it has a grease fitting?

This arm failed while I was stopped at a red light; there was no impact.

Three quarters of the pin surface is completely smooth, while the rest looks like a fracture would, with jagged projections.

Hey guys: any opinions as to what happened here?

Also-should you inspect your steering arm? I have 103,500 on my orange H2.
