Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2000 FORD RANGER INTO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECKED AS IT HAD A PULL TO THE LEFT. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS AND ANTI-SWAY BARS REPLACED BEFORE THEY COULD DO AN ALIGNMENT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 42,043 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. I CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS AND ASKED TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AT THEIR COST AND THEY REFUSED. I HAVE TALKED TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHO OWN OLDER FORDS RANGERS AND THEY SAID THAT THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. AT THIS POINT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE PARTS MYSELF, SO NO REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN DONE.*AK
