Consumer Description

ONLY 83,000 MILES ON MY 2002 FORD EXPLORER AND I AM FACED WITH A BILL OF AROUND $2,500 FOR REPAIRS. THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUBS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN YOU CAN HEAR NOISES LIKE A WHINING SOUND. IT SOUNDS ALMOST LIKE A PLANE IS LANDING IN MY BACK SEAT. *TR
