Consumer Description

AFTER A ROUGH WINTER IN PA. STARTED HEARING A LOUD THUNKING NOISE IN REAR OF CAR. NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THIS YEAR 2015 WHEN GOING FOR A INSPECTION, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE REAR TRAILING ARM BUSHING WAS COMPLETELY WORN AWAY. HE WAS VERY SUPRISED FOR THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR FOR THIS TO OCCUR. WAS MORE SUPRISED THERE WASNT A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. WAS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR
