| Description of the problem | Loud noise from back of car and then right rear suspension collapsed causing me to loose steering control of vehicle. No other cars around, road was straight and level with just grass to the side. Brakes still work so car was brought to stop as it went by itself to the right. This is a one owner car that was never abused or off-roaded. Car was taken by flatbed to local toyota dealer who replaced the right rear inner/outer tie rods at no cost and gave me a free car wash. *js |
