You're probably right, but sometimes they can be broken and yet 
the other 3 wheels can still be supporting that corner. It is probably 
more likely that this one is cracked and no longer has the right 
spring constant. Removing it before it breaks all the way thru is 
easier!

To install a new one you need to rotate it and find the right 
combination of spline positions so that the swing arm angle is 
correct. It's possible that finding the correct data for a T34 will be 
hard, and of course on a lowered car you are on your own.
