Consumer Description

THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS LOCATION DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE SWAY BAR BUSHING MOUNT AS WELL AS A BODY ATTACHMENT TO THE SUB FRAME. THE CAR WAS EXHIBITING A SQUEAKING/CLUNKING NOISE DURING TURNS AND HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY IN A SHORT MATTER OF TIME. THE REST OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST OR DAMAGE WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAUSE MAY BE LINKED TO THE LOCATION OF THE AC DRAIN HOSE DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS LOCATION. *TR
