Frustrated reading the article. The wire holding up the tierod is because the balljoint is broken. There is no "its leaf springs wired to a suspension component that shouldn't be dangling loose (we've seen that before with the world's worst custom exhaust). Presumably, the hanger visible just inches to the right of the wires has failed, potentially due to rust."
Rideandrepair, Troy_, stwik and 2 others Thank this. -
Couldn't see anything wrong except some rust.
PE_T, Rideandrepair, Super_Trucker and 2 others Thank this.
