Defective frame on 1998 Subaru Legacy. The consumer stated the brakes and tie rods were replaced. And a alignment was done as well. While driving, the vehicle began to make a rumbling sound, as well a stronger pull to the right when braking. The consumer was able to pull over and upon inspecting the vehicle, he noticed the front left cross-member was severed in the center.
