| Description of the problem | On my 1998 jeep wrangler sport, chrysler put a hole in the frame to access the rear sway arm bolt and when they did that it let water , dirt, salt etc into the frame and cause the frame to rot from the inside out. I have researched the problem and many people seem to have the same one i want to put the word out to have it fix because if it was to break while driving your jeep it can cost someone there life. Mine has yet to do so because i seen it in time and want something done about it a recall is needed to fix the problem |
