Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY TOYOTA 4RUNNER 15 YEARS AGO, ON YEAR 2000. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND I DON?T ABUSE MY VEHICLES. LOVE THIS CAR. ONE DAYS DRIVING BACK HOME MY CAR SHAKE AND IT SEEMED AN ISSUE IN REAR ?CAUSE THE WAY MY CAR MOVE AND NOISE. IT APPEARS THE REAR LEFT AXEL MOUNTS WAS HANGING OFF THE FRAME. TALKED TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER NOTHING THEY COULDN'T DO IT REQUIRES A NEW FRAME. STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS DOESN'T ALLOW WELDING DIRECTLY INTO THE FRAMES, IT'S UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD TO JUNK THE CAR OR REPLACE THE FRAME. JUST WHEN IT TURNED 15 YEARS. *TR
