Description of the problem | Failuer of the front aluminum frame was observed on my car during a state inspection by an observant technician. The compliance bushing in the front strut assembly fails without giving the driver an audible or driving signal. This creates metal on metal contact between the strut and aluminum frame - wearnig thru the aluminum frame arm extension which supports the metal rod to the wheel. The aluminum frame will eventally fail causing loss of vehicle control. This would be life threatening at highways speeds. I had to have the entire front frame assembly replaced to mitigate this risk. |
