June 1999 Injury

1. Rear leaf spring support on 1993 ford f-150. The design of the rear leaf spring support, let water and salt collect in the support. Causing rapid rust and failure of support. This could cause an accident and possible loss of human life if this part would fail at highway speeds. The ford dealer here in town told me at the parts counter, when I bought this part that they sell 5 or 7 supports a week. This tells me this is a design flaw. In the rear leaf spring support. 2.
