I PURCHASED THE 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN JULY OF 2010, ABOUT A YEAR LATER ON JULY 4TH 2011, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL BROKE OFF AT THE BALL JOINTS LODGING THE WHEEL UNDER THE VEHICLE, WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS GOING ABOUT 65MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED ON THE FRONT OF BOTH SIDES TO BE SAFE ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER PARTS THAT WERE DAMAGED IN THE ACCIDENT. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN ON THE SAME SIDE. THE PARTS USED TO FIX IT THE FIRST TIME WERE FACTORY TOYOTA PARTS.
