Owner Narrative

THE BOLT THAT ATTACHES THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO THE SUSPENSION WORKED LOOSE. IT DID NOT FALL OFF, BUT THE NUT WAS EASILY TURNED BY HAND. WE NOTICED THIS BECAUSE ON A RIGHT TURN THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES DECIDE TO TURN SHARPER. *TR HAD THE BOLT FALLEN OUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I WAS DRIVING A TWISTING MOUNTAIN ROAD AT THE TIME I NOTICED. CROSSING THE CENTER LINE AND HITTING OPPOSING TRAFFIC COULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTCOME. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HIT A CURB OR ANYTHING. OTHER THAN THIS, IT'S BEEN A GREAT CAR. *TR
