Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN HEARING A RUBBING SOUND COMING FROM REAR OF CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND AFTER EXPERIENCING A FLAT TIRE ON THE SAME SIDE, FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. DRIVER SIDE REAR SPRING (SHARP EDGE)WAS SCRAPING THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE FLAT TIRE. BOTH REAR SPRINGS AND STRUTS PLUS NEW TIRES WERE REPLACED COSTING $1,200.00. *TR
