Drivers side frame cracked and broke in 2 at the shock mount. The rear spring shackle rusted off, while under load. The weight and loss of suspension height caused the shock to over-compress, and the frame split as a result.
This is probably due to the frame being rusted out around the shock mount due to a design flaw. The body has no rust but the frame is finished.
I cant believe a truck with 78000 miles that the rear frame would fold at the shock mount and break off, as well as the spare tire mount.now I have to re frame the rear end and weld it together hopefully it will hold.My truck is not the only one, know of 4 rangers with the same problem, any one else have this problem.
