My rear subframe is rusting so badly the rear suspension is falling apart.
A truck stopped without warning, in front of me. I hit my brakes and turned the wheel to the left to avoid a rear end collison, my car felt like it had a flat tire. I checked and there was no flat, but the right front tire was not going straight as the left front tire was. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic, where it was found that the a-frame had rusted and snapped. I had the a-frame replaced, and the mechanic also checked out the a-frame on the left side of the car, and found that there was no rust or damage on that side.
