| Description of the problem | My 2003 toyota 4 runner sr5 was swaying back and forth at speeds up to 35 mph something is wrong thinking maybe the sway bars so took it to a mechanic and after he drove it and put it up on a lift he was frightened on how much rust and separation on the frame especially the rear passenger side right next to the muffler complete separation and then you walk to the middle any day now that would have separated . I was told to to have a tow truck take it back to my house which is about two-three miles away which i did but now it sits in my garage - and with only 139,000 mile on it not able to drive or sell unless its for junk. |
