Consumer Description

THROUGH NORMAL DRIVING I EXITED OFF A HIGHWAY RAMP AND HEARD A LOUD CLANG AND THOUGHT MY CAR HAD BOTTOMED OUT. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR THE PART THAT ATTACHED MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE TO THE SHOCK HAD BROKEN FREE. A NEIGHBOR TOLD ME IT WAS THE UPPER LINK TO THE REAR VIEW. MY CAR IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE. THE REAR WHEEL TILTS ONTO THE SHOCK AND RUBS, ALSO EVERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BOTTOMING OUT. *TR
