get a call from my mom today. said she was at a gas station and couldn't drive her van. long story short i go over to look it over and expecting to find bushing completely wore out/gone. nope. crawl under rear end and the damn axle is snaped in half right in the middle. if she had ran over a crub or a parking block maybe i could understand but nothing like that. i do some research online and this is not uncommon with the 99-00's. i would think something with a major part like that, ford would recall. sure its at least a grand to fix. uggg she reallly did not need this. if it would have waited another day it could have killed the entire family on interstate on turkey day. wtf ford?!?! makes me not want to invest anymore of my blood sweat and tears into my car anymore. thanks for reading my rant.
