Consumer Description

2002 SEL NOTICED RUNNING A LITTLE LOW IN THE REAR, BEFORE I TOOK OFF FOR MY 140 MILE DRIVE TO THE RACE TRACK (I AM A CHAPLAIN) I DECIDED TO PULL ONE REAR TIRE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUSPENSION. SAW NO PROBLEMS, WAS ABOUT TO PUT IT ALL BACK, WHEN MY TIRE (THANKS GOD) FLIPPED OVER AND I SAW A GROOVE. WHY WOULD MICHELIN PUT A GROOVE LIKE THAT IN THE SIDEWALL? I WAS STUMPED AND THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD RUBBED, SO I STARTED LOOKING - THE LOWER COIL OF THE SPRING HAD POPPED OUT AND WAS WORN SHINY FROM THE CONTACT WITH THE TIRE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING LIKE THAT FOR PROBABLY 1000 MILES. WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW STRUT ASSEMBLE AND NOW I AM TRYING TO GET THE LOWER PINCH BOLT OUT! THEN I NEED TO GO BUY A NEW TIRE. *TR
