Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had no warning, no vibration or slop in my steering. luckily my son had just came in with the truck. i went out and started backing up and all of a sudden the front left (ds) wheel dropped to the ground. i inspected it and found that it looks like the spindle had broken just before where the bottom ball joint is. approx 1" from the a frame. wonder what would have happened if someone had been driving it??????? i didnt see any signs of damage or where it was hit. it just looks like there was a failure in the spindle?????*ak
