Narrative

SWAY BAR BOLTS THAT HOLD SWAY BAR FELL OUT, AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WENT TO DEALER AND GOT IT FIXED. BUT THEN ALL FOUR BOLTS THAT HOLD THE SWAY BAR FELL OUT AGAIN, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, WORN GEAR IN THE STEERING BOX CAUSED A LOSS OF STEERING. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK *ML
