Consumer Description

I HAD TO TAKE MY 2000 FORD FOCUS TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE OF A SUDDEN LOUD SCRAPING NOISE AND AN INABILITY TO PROPERLY STEER. I WAS TOLD THAT 3 OF THE 4 BOLTS THAT HOLD THE AXLE SUPPORT BRACE WERE MISSING AND THE AXLE WAS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE. MECHANIC ADDED 3 BOLTS - PROBLEM WAS FIXED.
