Consumer Description

2001 FORD RANGER WITH 86866K. IN AROUND SEPT 2010 I HEARD A THUMP AND BANGING FROM THE BACK. UPON HOME I LOOKED UNDER I SAW THAT THE SHACKLE MOUNT ROTTED AND BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT BREAK BUT NOT ANY BETTER THEN THE ONE THAT BROKE. I BOUGHT THE SHACKLE AND THE SHACKLE MOUNTS. AFTER I REMOVED THE SHACKLE MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I SAW ROT THROUGH THE FRAME AS WELL HEAVY FLAKING RUST THRO-OUT THE ENTIRE FRAME. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IN A NUT SHELL TOO BAD. *KB
