While getting off the highdway about six months ago I hear a pop and my truck started to slide to the right almost striking the driver next to me. I manange to get to the side of the road and got out, to find out that my left front wheel was half off.tow to the shop and found out it was tie rod failure. Since that time I have hsd to have the short shaft replaced, the tie rod replaced again on the right side. Also when it first failed they also had to replace the part that control the ABS on the left side. And it still wont stay in alignment.I would also like to note that the truck at this time has less than 90.000 miles on it, when I purchase it had 40.000. The truck is a 1999 Chevy Blazer, in the past I have have good luck with Chevy cars, but I have never had the problems ith any car I have ever had over the past 27 years. I am very disappointed. I have the work papers in my house as well as being able to obtain them again from the shop, so the date is an estimate. I am writing the now as I past another Blazer on the side of the highway with it left wheel in the same conditon. I guess it may be best to stay off the highways. I was just lucky I had just gotten off when my wheel failed
