Consumer Description
ONE DAY MY VEHICLE STARTED GETTING A LITTLE SHAKE. SO I PULLED IN TO AN OLD WELDING SHOP I USED TO WORK AT. I ASKED MY OLD BOSS IF HE WOULD GET IN THE TRUCK, TO DO A LITTLE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. BASICALLY GUESS WHAT COULD BE WRONG. HE SAID SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT, AND TOLD ME TO JACK UP THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. BEFORE I EVEN DID, I NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE SPARE TIRE. I THEN LOOK TO THE AXLE HOUSE GROUP, AND IT WAS BROKE IN HALF. HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A MECHANIC FOR 30 PLUS YEARS. HE SAID, 'THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE BREAK THERE HOUSE GROUP. MY TRUCK ALSO HAS A RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE.
