Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2007 FORD ESCAPE, IT BEGAN MAKING A THUMPING NOISE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHENEVER WE HIT A BUMP. I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR-PASSENGER WHEEL WELL AND NOTICED THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RUST AND CORROSION AROUND THE SHOCK-ABSORBER. OUR MECHANIC SAID THAT WHERE THE SHOCK ABSORBER IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME, RUST HAS CORRODED BOTH SIDES OF THE ATTACHMENT. HE DEEMED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
