Consumer Description

MY 2001 FORD RANGER XLT DISPLAYS A RUSTING FRAME THAT IS NOT IN LINE WITH THE MILEAGE OR CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. THE BRACKET HOLDING THE REAR LEAF SPRING HAS RUSTED AND BROKEN LOOSE, ALLOWING THE SPRING TO REST AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS THE 2ND BRACKET TO RUST COMPLETELY THRU, AND AGAIN, AS STATED, THE FRAME SHOWS SIGNS OF SEVERE DEGRADATION. *TR
