Consumer Description

The Rear Frame Suspension Cradle Subframe Crossmember has corroded and my mechanic at Jimmy's Tire and Auto in Granby Ct. says it is unsafe to drive. This corroded part is available for inspection while I wait for a used part to be delivered to complete the repair. No-one else has inspected the part. The condition was discovered when I had sent it in for general maintenance to replace the shocks and rear suspension linkages because there was noise in the rear when driving over bumps. The only warning I had was the odd noise when going over bumps in the road. I recall when buying the used vehicle many years ago that the dealer performed a recall on the front suspension #18V-631 and this shows closed.
