September 29, 2018 I was driving on the interstate my Tacoma's front end would feel like it would float off the ground or lift up off the interstate. I made it back to the town I live in and stopped at a gas station for some gas. As I left, to go pick up my fianc� and our 2 girls to get back on the interstate and drive back with them to where I just was. I got about 3 blocks from the gas station as I was going 30 mph. All of a sudden my right front end goes down as if a tire blew. When I came to a stop and went to look what happen. I found that I don't have a flat tire but that my right front tire is lying on its side under the rear of the right front fender. The upper and lower ball joint each snapped in half which caused my tire to break loose and caused me to skid down the road. The right front axle shaft, outer tie rod, stabilizer bar links, spindle knuckle were all destroyed and had to be replaced. So when I was on the interstate heading home to get my family and kept feeling like the front of my truck would randomly float up was more than likely because my lower ball joint was already broken apart. Which driving on the interstate put enough stress on the upper ball joint. That caused the upper ball joint to break when it did. To think if it the tire stayed on till I picked up my family and got back on the interstate with my 3 girls and that tire broke off.

The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. Had truck lifted on 6-7-04 for $3700 , and on 6-24-04 got the truck retorqued which tightened and aligned it. Around February 2005 heard a clanking noise from the brake system, and the steering wheel shook. While pressing on the brakes and the truck shook and it turned to the right, suspension was loose. On 3-7-05 took it to a Toyota dealer to inspect vehicle and fix it. Consumer refused to deal with the other companies because they were rude and intimidating. Vehicle was not under a warranty because another company tightened the bolts and charged consumer $80. The Toyota dealer replaced rear:axle:spindle.
