Defect
The front axle beam and suspension bracket are improperly matched. When the vehicle passes over uneven road surfaces, high stress concentrates at the edge of the suspension bracket mounting face on the axle beam. Continued use causes a crack to develop in the axle beam and, in the worst case, may result in loss of driving stability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front axle beam and suspension bracket with correctly matched new parts.
