Consumer Description

THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. THE SHOCK MOUNT IS ABOUT TO BREAK AWAY. I FEAR THE SHOCK COULD FALL AGAINST THE TIRE AND CAUSE A BLOWOUT OR CARBON MONOXIDE COULD BE ENTERING THE VEHICLE. I JUST FOUND THE PROBLEM AND AM NOW WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILIES SAFETY. WE HAVE OWNED THE TRIBUTE SINCE NEW. *TR
