Consumer Description

WHILE WORKING ON AND DOING AN UNDERBODY INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SPRING HANGER IS ALMOST ROTTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. IT IS A CAUSE FOR ALARM FOR ME AND ANYBODY DRIVING NEAR ME ON THE HIGHWAY. IF NOT FIXED IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ROTTED AS WELL. FRONT SUSPENSION IS ROTTING AS AT A FAST RATE. THE TRUCK SEEMS TO JUMP INTO OTHER LANES AFTER HITTING POT HOLES OR OTHER ROAD HAZARDS. *TR
