While traveling down the road both rear wheels and axles come off my 2000 Ford Ranger causing me to go broad side down the road about 50ft. The state patrol man informed the towing company to take the truck to the garage and tear it apart to find the cause, he felt there was a defect in this truck, we come to find out that the king pin in the rear end broke causing the rear end wheels and axles attached to come off.
