Consumer Description

THE REAR STRUT MOUNTS ON OUR 2003 DODGE STRATUS ARE MADE OF A "POT TYPE" METAL. THE CAR HAS MID 30K MILES AND THE STRUT MOUNTS ARE CORRODED TO THE POINT THEY FELL APART. THE SHOCK WAS ACTUALLY BOUND UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPRING. THIS FORTUNATELY WAS CAUGHT BY MY WIFE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD RESULT IN AN OUT OF CONTROL SITUATION. STRUT COULD DIG INTO TIRE. CAR CAN FALL ON IT'S OWN SUSPENSION. HOW CAN YOU CONTROL A CAR IF IT IS ON AN UNSTABLE PLATFORM? *TR
