The problem with leaf spring started three years and after the final recall, we waited two months. The bad leaf spring caused a rough vibration, which caused rod, dry shaft, u joint, and rear end are connected which caused damage to all connected parts.the three years and two months of rough vibration caused a snowball effect while driving, turning and in motion.
