Consumer Description

I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WAS BEGINNING TO LEAD TOWARD THE RIGHT. AFTER CLOSE EXAMINATION , I DISCOVERED THAT THE SHOCK ABSORBER AND FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING HOUSING ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY AND THE SPRING ITSELF WAS BENDING IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION. IF IT HAD LET GO COMPLETLY, IT COULD HAVE TAKEN BOTH MY FENDER AND BRAKE LINE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART EVER RUSTING AWAY ON ANY CAR OR TRUCK AND NEITHER HAS ANYONE ELSE I HAVE ASKED. THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL REPAIR KIT FOR THIS PROBLEM SO I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE STEEL ITSELF. IT IS ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND NOT THE LEFT. *AK
