Default IFS Fail......

This is why IFS sucks......10 mph, hit a small pot hole, spindle breaks at lower ball joint hole......Not another one in country so now my service truck is down for god knows how long......It blew out my one of my new front tires too......For reference the tire is not touching the ground, it just looks like it, you can move the tire around freely......

By the looks of that truck, I think it's hit more than a pothole in it's lifetime.

none of those trucks over there get treated well. I am surprised any of them still run. most of those drw trucks have no rear fenders from them being smashed off. good luck getting a new truck logan its prolly easier than fixing that one
