| Description of the problem | For christmas vacations, i went to durango, mexico. When i was driving there, i took a curve approximatly at 35 mph and i suddenly hear a loud noise on the back of the truck and i saw the left rear tire pass me by. I was able to control my truck, and there was no traffic at that time so there was no accident thank god. The rear axel broke, both wheels were out and the truck's bed was on the floor. *ak |
