Consumer Description

I HAD JUST PARKED MY CHEVROLET ASTRO AWD IN THE GARAGE AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE DRIVERS SIDE TORSION BAR SNAPPED. THE FRONT END WAS SITTING ON THE SUSPENSION STOPS. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN 10 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN THE GARAGE AWAITING REPAIR. THE UPDATED PARTS ARE GOING TO RUN ME $600 PLUS INSTALLATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE BROKEN TORSION BAR. I VEHICLE RESIDED IN UTAH AND DID NOT SEE WISCONSIN SALT UNTIL COUPLE YEARS AGO. THE BAR APPEARS TO BE SEVERELY CORRODED/PITTED AT THE BREAK. *NM
