Description of the problem | Rear leaf spring on left side broke at approximately 105,000 miles. The leaf broke at both the front and rear mounting points. The left side of the vehicle dropped three inches and the broken spring made contact with the box frame. Fortunately there was no loss of driving control. Both rear leaf springs have squeaked since 2010 and required periodic lubrication to quiet them. This is a one-owner vehicle driven in the mild weather of the mid-atlantic states. |
