    Suspension/Steering

    Shocks or struts, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, alignment, steering linkage (includes rack and pinion), power steering (pumps and hoses, leaks), wheel balance, springs or torsion bars, bushings, electronic or air suspension.

    Other steering/suspension problem

    "The rear wheel hubs are welded onto the rear axle beam using thin sheet metal. Most of the sheet metal had rusted away, leaving only 2-3 inches of actual connecting mestal and causing the rear wheels to wobble and sway. The mechanic informed me that a hard turn could have caused the wheel hubs to snap off entirely. A used, good-condition axle beam was installed to replace the rusted out one. Toyota dealers called the car totalled and refused to fix it, but a private mechanics shop was able to do it with warrantied second hand parts for around $2k."

    If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
