Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 LINCOLN LS 3.9V8 VEHICLE, I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING MY STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP MY CAR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT BALL JOINT BOLT WAS LOSE, WHERE HE ALSO POINTED OUT THE LOOSENESS.(BOLT LOCATED BEHIND THE ROTOR RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTROL ARM) TODAY WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING TOOK ME INTO SOME GRASS BUT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN 2000 AND 2001 SO I WASN'T SURE IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY 2002 BUT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THE CAR ESPECIALLY COMMUTING TO WORK EVERYDAY ON A BUSY FREEWAY, FEARFUL THAT THE STEERING WILL GIVE OUT AT ANYTIME AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
