Consumer Description

NO ACCIDENT YET BUT FORSEEN. THE U-JOINT PART OF INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS ABOUT TO COME APART. THE TRUCK HAS 110K MI. AND IF THIS COMES APART I WILL LOSE ALL STEERING CAPABILITY ALSO HAVE 2"OFPLAY IN STEERING WHEEL CAUSING DIFFICULITY IN STEERING AND WEAVING I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD HAVE MUCH LONGER LIFE THAN THIS AND SOME SORT OF SECONDARY MECHANISM TO HOLD THIS TOGETHER BECAUSE IF IT COMES APART WHILE DRIVING IT WILL BE A DISASTER.IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE
