Drivers side rear shock absorber upper mounting cross member has corroded off the vehicle. This should cause a recall as rotting frame parts are very hazardous. This truck has 88000 miles. Recently i had to replace all the brake lines in this truck as well. Brakes were lost luckily in the driveway. Heard a loud clunking in the rear and found the shock absorber mount had rotted off.

Rust rust rust. Frame is so bad truck will not pass nys safety inspection next year. I have to sell it for scrap/salvage as gm won't offer anything but a "possible" credit if i buy a new chevy truck. No way i'll do that:(. Truck only has 25,500 miles as it is a second vehicle. It was never used off road or for snow plowing. Just rusted away sitting in the driveway.
