Ever notice this kind of stuff?
i was driving to school this morning when i realized something. i have noticed that with every single ford taurus i see, they have blown rear shocks and are tucking like a **** because of that. i have also noticed that ever single ford probe i see has busted endlinks on its rear sway bar and the sway bar hangs upside down.

does anyone notice these kind of common problems that you see in cars? liek cras that if you see that car, you can be guaranteed to see a certain problem with it.

The suspension in Ford cars especially Taurus (and the 'cost more for the same' mercury model) are supercraptacular. Ford has recalled the front suspension for breaking and the front end smashing into the ground. This is true. And to top it off the failure usually happens at highway speeds. HA HA HA HA

Ford cars, what a joke.

and to add to this. almost all of the previous generation chrysler sebrings i see have a broken front bumper. the center part on the bottom of they bumper cracks because the car is so damn low and people dont know how to drive it.

Chrysler Dynasty also blows the rear shocks prematurely. Sunfire and Cavalier trannies fail as soon as the warranty expires.
