Consumer Description

FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS HAVE BEEN KNOCKING OVER 1 YEAR AGO. AT THE TIME MY CAR WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. AT FIRST THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY THOUGHT IT WAS VALVE BODY IN THE SUSPENSION THE FIRST TIME THEY CHECKED. EXPLORER WAS JERKING WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY REPLACED THAT BECAUSE I COMPLAINED THAT I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH A 5 TO 6 YEAR OLD CAR. ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT.
