Consumer Description

VEHICLE FRAME IS RUSTING FASTER THAN NORMAL. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY SUSPENSION PARTS, WELDED FRONT ALIGNMENT TABS TO KEEP VEHICLE IN LINE, REPLACED VEHICLE SUSPENSION BUT UNSURE HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST DUE TO FRAME STILL FLAKING. TOYOTA DEALER STATES THAT THE RUST IS SEVERE AND WHEN I HAD MY REAR UPPER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED, STATED THAT THE MOUNT BRACKET WAS VERY THIN AND CAUSING MOVEMENT IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE.
