Front Suspension Shock Absorber problem #1

Shocks failed. Nlm.

Suspension problem #2

The front frames rot out on steering side and it isnt 1 of them it is almost all of them. Toyota recalled tacomas for this and I want my frame fixed or replaced. This happens early in the life of the vehicles. They have almost gotten away with it . But these are still on the road and could kill people . They need to buy the ones that are still on the road or trade for safe vans or trucks. The service life of these were cut short and almost every junkyard has these and they all look good but they arent safe. They need to clean up their mess and take them backto be held accountable as they cant be repaired . I think the drain holes in the frames were in the wrong place or not there at all .
