I was on a vacation trip and my son was driving. The steering wheel locked up and he crashed into a pole. My wife and I thought the steering was rough but thought it would ease up. After the car was hit the axel on the right passenger side was destroyed. He wasn't moving fast enough for the axel to get damaged which leads me to believe the axel was poorly constructed in the first place. No my car is stuck in a friend's driveway with no way of getting it home. This has been a nightmare.
