Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The steel cable that supported my spare tire under my truck's body broke (it was rusted out) while driving on a major highway. i was able to retrieve all parts (tire, cable toggle and tire retainer), and no other cars were damaged since they swerved to avoid the debris. the rusted toggle shows that only three strands of cable were unrusted when it broke, with more than 90% of the remaining cable rusted away. if someone wants to look at the toggle i will mail it, let me know. in my opinion, stainless steel should have been used, since this cable is exposed to all roadway spashing. *nm |
