Sorry about that I didn't have any rust issues and nothing frozen on....granted it took me longer to remove and replace the tire then to install the link.....I would also replace the other side now....the car handles so much better with both replace.....I was only going to replace my broken one, but opted to do both....the other had extremely lose joints and the plastic was hard and cracking....I kept it as a spare and put the new one on...
