Consumer Description

ON JUNE 7, 2003 THE RIGHT SIDE TORSION BAR BROKE COLLAPSING THE FRAME ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. A METAL INSPECTOR HAS INSPECTED THE PART AND INDICATED THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WENT TO MY FORD DEALER, THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOO BAD IT HAPPENED NOW BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 1995 AND THE WARRANTY IS UP WITH NO COVERAGE FOR REPLACING THIS PART. WE WILL NEED TO PURCHASE BOTH THE RIGHT HAND PART AS WELL AS THE LEFT HAND PART #S F57A-BC RUB & F57A-BC LUB AND HAVE THEM INSTALLED. I CAN SEND PICTURES OF THE DEFECTIVE PART. *JB
