Consumer Description

I was parallel parking and as I was turning the steering wheel I heard a loud think. Without thinking too much about it, I continued to try to park and get my car out of the way. There began to feel pressure on the front tire so I got out to evaluate the issue. I saw that the tire was attached to the arch liner of the vehicle. I quickly ran back into the car to straighten out the wheel. I then noticed the car was able to drive but when applying the break, the tire would touch/move onto the arch liner. I called roadside assistance and when they arrived, we evaluated that the force link in the suspension snapped. He asked if I hit anything but there was absolutely no impact, contact, potholes associated with this break. It seems to be faulty mechanics. Thankfully I was parking and not driving on a highway.
