| Tl*- the contact stated that while driving his 2003 ford f550 with a trailer attached (failure mileage 61000) at 60 mph, the track rod hanger brackets failed without warning. the rear of the vehicle began to swing from side to side. the contact had to apply the trailer brakes to gain control in order to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. the vehicle was taken to a ford dealer who directed the contact to the fontaine modification company. the fontaine modification company supplied the hanger bracket replacement parts free of charge, but the contact had to pay for the labor involved in the repair.*jb | |||
