Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED AFTER THIS SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY WAS BENT IS THE SAFETY ISSUE I AM CONCERNED WITH. WHEN THIS ASSEMBLY GETS BENT IT SMASHES THE POWER STEERING LINES IN THE FRAME WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE POWER STEERING HOSES TO REACH A HIGH ENOUGH PRESSURE TO EXPLODE AND YOU LOOSE YOUR POWER STEERING. WHAT I AM CONCERNED WITH IS SOMEONE TRAVELING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT SAY 70 MPH AND HITTING A POT HOLE AND THIS SUB FRAME FAILING AND AT THIS TIME LOSING YOUR POWER STEERING.*AK
