| 1992 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP SR5 V6. WAS APPROACHING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP AND HIT A BUMP AND HEARD A LOUD POP AND IMMEDIATELY LOST STEERING. UPON INSPECTION, MY LEFT UPPER CONTROL ARM FRAME MOUNT WAS BROKEN OFF. THIS MOUNT ALSO HOLDS THE MOTOR MOUNT. TAKING A CLOSER LOOK, IT LOOKS LIKE THE METAL HAD CRACKED AT SOME POINT AND RUSTED THROUGH AND THE BUMP WAS THE LAST STRAW. ITS A MIRACLE I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY YET, OR I (AND POSSIBLY OTHERS) COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR |
