WHEELS:RIM, WHEELS
I NOTICED A TIRE GOING DOWN ON MY WIFE'S 1999 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. WHEN SHE TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR, THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE. HOWEVER, THE WHEEL HAD A CRACK ACROSS THE BEAD ( NOT DUE TO DAMAGE ). I HAD TO ORDER A REMANUFACTURED WHEEL AT A COST OF $155. I HAD TO TRADE THE OLD WHEEL IN. OBVIOUSLY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE, APP. 1 YR. AGO. ("VEHICLE TYPE" BOX BELOW WOULD ONLY OFFER "INCOMPLETE VEHICLE" AS AN OPTION. THIS IS NOT AN INCOMPLETE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD PROCEED WAS TO CHOOSE "INCOMPLETE"). *JB
