Consumer Description

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. STOPPED AT A FAST FOOD PLACE AND PULLED IN TO THE PAY WINDOW AND HEARD A CLUNK. WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM THE WINDOW MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL LOCKED 70 DEGREES RIGHT AND I STOPPED. TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER AND HE INFORMED ME THE TIE ROD TO THE WHEEL STRIPPED OUT OF THE CONNECTOR ROD BOLT. THE STRIPPED PORTION WAS ABOUT 1 AND A QUARTER INCHES. THIS HAD TO TAKE A WHILE TO STRIP OUT WITH NO INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM BEFORE HAND AND THE ALIGNMENT HAD APPEARED TO STILL BE FINE. I HAVE THE TWO COMPONENTS AND CAN SEND PICTURES OR THE COMPONENTS THEMSELVES. *TR
