“While driving on city street heard a noise, steering came loose. Pulled into a service station, and the lower a frame on the left front which is bolted into the cradle broke. Mount where the a frame bolts in had cracked which caused the a frame to come loose at that point. Since it was not attached steering was not effective.”
