After hitting a bump in the road the right rear leaf spring mounting bracket broke. After further investigation at a local chevy dealership it was discovered that the leaf spring itself was also cracked. Further investigation revealed the same to be true on the left side of the truck as well. It was also discovered that the right rear shock, where it attaches to the frame, was completely corroded off. It was while under the truck investigating the suspension issues that it was discovered that the entire brake line system was severely corroded. I felt fortunate that this was discovered before a catestrophic failure occured. It was also noticed that the entire under carriage/frame was severely corroded. When asked if this was normal, the chevy mechanic stated that they see this all the time on the gm trucks they service. Although this survey is for the brake lines I feel that the corrosion issues associated with the frame is just as severe an issue and should be investigated.
