STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
I WAS TRYING TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE TRAFFIC HAD COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP SO I JERKED MY TRUCK TO THE RIGHT AS HARD AS I COULD. I COULD NOT STEER OUT OF IT BECAUSE THE STEERING BOX BROKE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON HIS RIGHT REAR BUMPER WITH MY LEFT FRONT BUMPER. THE ONLY DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK WAS THE FRONT BUMPER. THE HEADLIGHT WASN'T EVEN BROKE. RON BALCKWELL FORD'S CHIEF MECHANIC SAID THE STEERING BOX BREAKING IS A SAFETY FEATURE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. I DON'T BELIVE THAT HITTING A CAR AT 30 MPH SHOULD MAKE THE STEERING BOX BREAK. I THINK IT BROKE FROM THE EXTREME PRESSURE OF TURNING IT SO HARD TRYING TO AVOID THE COLLISION.*AK
