Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THOUGHT I HAD A BLOWOUT ON A TIRE, SLOWED DOWN AND THEN THE LOWER BALL JOINT SEPARATED FROM THE SUSPENSION. THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. AND STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. A CITY CREW WAS ABLE TO JACK UP THE CAR, THEY FOUND THAT THE NUT ON THE BALL JOINT WAS STILL ON THE SUSPENSION. THEY RECONNECTED THE BALL JOINT AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE BALL JOINT. IT WAS NOW BAD . YOU CAN PULL UP AND DOWN ON IT. THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED BECAUSE THE NUT BACK OFF, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ANY THREADS AND THE CREW WAS ABLE TO REUSE THE SAME NUT. *TR
