E.Central MN | Count your blessings it failed in your driveway. One of the pitfalls of living in the MN/WIS area is the amount of salt vehicles are exposed to every winter. Seems like the effect is worse on vehicles that aren't driven as much. I would have the repair shop get an replacement from a salvage yard, preferably from an area that doesn't use roadsalt, or at least inspect it carefully before installing it as you would for any part that comes from a vehicle that was in an accident. Some parts are available as after market parts. As long as the part is good and installed correctly I see no reason to tell anyone. It would be different if it had been involved in an accident. When anything is weak at the rear suspension on a front drive vehicle it gets pretty weird handling. When its fixed it'll probably drive just fine. | |
