Consumer Description

THERE WAS CONSTANT KNOCKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND I TOOK THE SUV TO DEALER. THE DEALER SAYS "THE RIGHT REAR STRUT IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE BODY OF THE CAR. THERE IS HEAVY RUST AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE CONDITION TO TRY THE CAR". OVER THE WEEKEND, THE SHOCK MOUNT BRACKET COMPLETELY FELL OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEMS TO BE A GOOD DESIGN ORIGINALLY TO USE THE SHEET METAL OF THE FENDER WELL AS THE CONNECTION POINT, WITHOUT EXTRA MEASURE TO SECURE THE SHOCK TO THE BODY. IT IS A DEFECT. *TR
