I had the rear suspension inspected by two different garages due to my car riding rough. Both garages told me that both rear springs are broken which is a common problem with ford escorts. Both garages told me that they replacing the rear springs all the time on this model. I have checked for recalls on this defect but have found nothing. If this is such a common occurrence I feel ford should replace the springs and the consumer should not have to pay.
Rear springs on both sides broke. Mechanic says this is common on this type car.
