Description of the problem	The rear end was making a clunking noise. Took it into a mechanic who informed me the rear frame was rusted through and was close to breaking. He had to secure the rear end to the frame with ratchet straps to allow me to drive it to a mechanic who could fix it. Only one bolt secured the rear end to the frame it was so damaged. Had it broken off while i was driving, i probably would have been severely injured if not killed.
