While crossing an intersection the other day, my passenger side wheel spun on the white painted line indicating where to stop. When the tire caught on the pavement, I felt a jerk and suddenly no transfer of power. So I'm praying my transmission did not grenade when I discover I snapped the axle. There is a rubber damper on the longer passenger side that collects moisture underneath and it rusted damn near all the way through. Just a heads up to other drivers to watch for this. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/28/gu9e8yma.jpg
