Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY I FELT MY TRUCKS FRONT END VIBRATE THEN START TO WOBBLE. STOPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I COULD SMELL THE ODOR OF HOT METAL. I PULLED IN A PARKING LOT GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK ANDWALKED AROUND THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK. I COULD FEEL A LOT OF HEAT COMMING FROM THE LEFT WHEEL. THERE WAS AN AUTO SERVICE DEALER OPEN BELOW WHERE I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I LEFT MY TRUCK TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TOLD I NEEDED UPPER BALL JOINT BALLJOINT ASSEMBLY ON BOTH SIDES ,LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES AND ALSO UPPER CONTRL ARMS. THE SHOP KEEP THE OLD PARTS. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE ONE HOUR BEFORE THIS I WAS ON INTERSTATE 75 IN TRAFFIC. *NM
