Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD RANGER 4X4. LAST YEAR, I NOTED A LOUD THUMPING FROM THE REAR ON A WASHBOARD ROAD AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH FOR THE CAUSE AND FOUND THAT THE REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLES HAD COMPLETELY ROTTED OFF AND THE REAR OF THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE RESTING AGAINST THE TRUCKS BED. I TOOK IT TO A FRAME SHOP AND HAD THE SHACKLES REPLACED BUT THE TECHNICIAN MAKE NOTE TO ME THAT THE FRAME HAD A LOT OF SURFACE RUST BUILT UP AND MUCH OF THE METAL FUEL AND BRAKE TUBING WAS HEAVILY CORRODED AND RUSTING. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES AT THE TIME. IT NOW HAS 88,000. *TR
