Description of the problem | Just leaving work to go pick up my children from school, i noticed a strange rattling coming from the bottom side of my truck. I stop and proceeded to see what it might be. I noticed the middle (of three) leaf springs had completely broke, slid out of place, and was rubbing against my brake line. I then taped it back in place to prevent any further damage to my brake line. The following afternoon i was able to take the truck to the dealership where the technician advised the service advisor (#8987) that there was no sign of any external shock or damage that could have caused this. He then explained to me that he "saw no reason why this could have happened". |
