While traveling on a curvy state route, I noticed that my Jeep wasnt handling the turns quite as well as normal. Once I arrived in town, I made a stop at traffic light and when I began to move again, I noticed a very loud grinding sound near my passenger side rear tire and felt my vehicle begin to fishtail as I accelerated more. Fortunately, I was able to safely come to a stop in a restaurant parking lot and inspect the vehicle. At that time I noticed a rusted piece of metal that had seperated itself from the frame and sway bar. I also inspected the other side, and observed obvious and excessive corrossion on the opposite side as well. Had the complete seperation of this part happened while I was driving on the curvy roads or on an interstate at highway speeds, it without a doubt would have caused severe vehicle damage and had major potential for driver and passenger injury or even loss of life. Fortunately, the worst case scenario didnt happen,but, I am still left without transportation, as this was my only vehicle. This vehicle had to be towed on a flat bed tow truck and is still awaiting repair.
