Consumer Description
THE REAR SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER ROTTED WHERE THE CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IT AND BROKE FREE. THE CONTROL ARM THEN FELL DOWN AND THE ENTIRE REAR TIRE AND SUSPENSION WAS DRAGGED UNDERNEATH THE REAR END OF THE CAR. THE METAL THAT THE CONTROL ARM ATTACHES TO IS VERY THIN AND THE ONLY THING UNDER THE CAR THAT IS NOT UNDERCOATED IS THAT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER. IF THIS PART BROKE FREE AT 55MPH I MAY NOT HAVE SURVIVED THE CRASH. IT BROKE FREE AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, MORE THAN LIKELY FROM THE TWIST OF THE TURN. *TR
