Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD EXCURSION. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER IS LOCATED TOO LOW IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MOST ALL OF FORD'S FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES, DURING THOSE MODEL YEARS, HAVE THE SAME SETUP. IF THE VEHICLE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH A SMALL( OR MEDIUM) SIZED ANIMAL OR ANYTHING LYING IN THE ROAD, THE STABILIZER CAN BECOME BENT AND THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE STEERED. *JB
