Description of the problem | I was driving my 2002 extended cab 4x4 tundra 1 or 2 mph on an unpaved but graded road viewing real estate when the entire front passenger side of the vehicle collapsed jarring the truck to a stop. I thought the road had collapsed. It appears as if the front lower ball joint failed. I was only 7 miles off interstate i-95, i shudder to think of the consequences of a failure like this going 70 mph with traffic. *jb |
