Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND SUDDENLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT END DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND A FLAT TIRE OCCURRED. WHEN I TOOK OFF THE FLAT TO REPLACE IT WITH THE DONUT, THE ENTIRE INSIDE CIRCUMFERENCE WAS CUT. ONE OF THE COILS OF THE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN OFF AND SLICED INTO THE TIRE. THE COIL SPRING APPEARS TO HAVE WORN HALF-WAY THROUGH AND THEN SNAPPED OFF. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS NOT BEING DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! THE SHOCKS, MOUNTS LINKS, TIRES, ETC. WERE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $1,375.00. *TR
