The right front axle suddenly failed while making a left turn at slow speed. The axle cracked in half at mid shaft at the location of the axle damper under which the axle had corroded evidently resulting in its failure.

Vehicle drifts to the right. Dangerous on interstates when traveling @ 70mph. Must constantly hold vehicle in lane. Also problems with brakes grabbing when stopping. Dealer adjusted subframe and replaced brakes. Vehicle is still extremely sensitive to road crowning. Dealer said the drift is better but not perfect. I'm still concerned with safety of vehicle.
