Tl* the contact owns a 1989 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact was driving approximately 10 mph and approaching a traffic stop when the rear end of the vehicle collapsed to the ground. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and they informed the contact that the rear axle u bolts were fractured as a result of rust and corrosion. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The rotor on the left front wheel rusted dangerously thin where the center section and the friction plate meet, and broke almost completely apart while i was driving. It is difficult to tell that it is rusted so thin upon visual inspection, even when the friction plate that the pads contact looks fine. It became brittle and caused my vehicle to shake violently upon applying the brakes. I stopped and took the wheel off to inspect everything, and it took a while for me to see the hairline fracture around the ring. This could be especially dangerous to someone coming to a stop from a high rate of speed. The friction ring could come completely loose, as mine was about to do, and bind up the wheel causing a skid and an accident. The rotor center needs to be made the same thickness as the older 70's models were to provide more "meat" and reduce the likelihood of this brittleness and cracking with age and rust.
