ON JUNE 7, 2003 THE RIGHT SIDE TORSION BAR BROKE COLLAPSING THE FRAME ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. A METAL INSPECTOR HAS INSPECTED THE PART AND INDICATED THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WENT TO MY FORD DEALER, THE PARTS MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID TOO BAD IT HAPPENED NOW BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 1995 AND THE WARRANTY IS UP WITH NO COVERAGE FOR REPLACING THIS PART. WE WILL NEED TO PURCHASE BOTH THE RIGHT HAND PART AS WELL AS THE LEFT HAND PART #S F57A-BC RUB & F57A-BC LUB AND HAVE THEM INSTALLED. I CAN SEND PICTURES OF THE DEFECTIVE PART. *JB

FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS BROKE, THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING, AND VEHICLE COULD BREAK DOWN. *AK

THE SWAY BRACE HAS TWO BROKEN STUDS, WHICH ALLOWS THE BAR TO ROTATE FORWARD AND THEN THE TWO STUDS PROTRUDE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS REQUIRES US TO MANUALLY ROTATE THE BAR BACK TO REST ON THE "ATTACHMENT" POINTS. *AK

THE ACTUAL DATE AND MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. I JUST DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM LAST WEEK. BOTH LINK PINS THAT CONNECT THE FRONT SWAY BAR TO THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY WERE MISSING. WITH THE SWAY BAR DISCONNECTED, THE CAR SWAYS SEVERLY IN CORNERING OR HARD MANUEVERS. I HAD THE PINS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY HAD ISSUED A CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION ON 6 NOV 2000 #00M11 THAT IDENTIFIED THE (LINK PINS BREAKING)PROBLEM FOR 1996-1997 FORD EXPLORERS. HOWEVER, THE LIMIT FOR MILEAGE FOR FORD TO REPLACE THE PARTS WAS 100,000. I HAD AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY 102500 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM, I BELIEVE, OCCURED BACK IN THE SUMMER BECAUSE I STARTED GETTING A LOT SWAY ON CORNERING. I FIGURED THAT THE SHOCKS WERE BAD DO HAD THEM REPLACED IN ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2000. THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE SWAY PROBLEM. LAST WEEK I WAS CHANGING MY OIL AND NOTICED THAT...

LOWERED FRONTEND TORSION BARS WELL BELOW ORIGINAL ALLOWABLE SPECIFICATIONS, MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TIP OVER.
