Consumer Description

THE PINION NUT HAS LOOSENED UP AND THAT CAUSED THE DRIVESHAFT TO BECOME UNSTABLE AND IT HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS THAT HAVE TO BE CHANGED SUCH AS (CRUSH SLAVE, INNER AND OUTER BEARINGS,SPACERS, AND PINION NUT) ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED TO THE 2005 DODGE RAM AND THEY RECALLED THOSE TRUCKS JUST NOT THE YEAR OF MINE. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD WAY IF THE DRIVESHAFT BECAME UNATTACHED OR THE REAR-END LOCKED UP ON ME.
