Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, I STARTED TO BRAKE AT AROUND 45 MPH FOR A SLOWING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCK STARTED BUCKING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. LUCKILY, I MANAGED TO TURN INTO A GAS STATION THAT WAS RIGHT THERE AND STOP. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD WAS BROKEN. *TR
