problem #1

Apr 102003

S-10 Pickup 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles
When the vehicle was turned, the stabilizer bar rubbed the tire, which caused the tire to wear out prematurely. Dealer notified. The consumer noticed a rub on both sides of the stabilizer bar which was most on the left side. Further investigation showed the stabilizer bar was shoved an inch out of it's bracket. There was a hard left pull when the vehicle was driven. The truck was lifted off the ground and the consumer pointed out the rub marks on the stabilizer bar and also showed how the bar had been shoved out of it's holding bracket. The service dealer suggested the problem was a design flaw by showing the consumer another vehicle (same make/model) with the same problem.
