The contact pulled into her driveway and noticed that the front passenger side tire was completely diverted. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that the tie rod on the front passenger side tire was completely destroyed. He further stated that the tie rod on the front driver's side was almost completely destroyed as well. In addition, the ball joints on both rear tires failed.
