1)my van was pulling to the right and the tires were worn. 2) I took my 1995 ford windstar to firestone to have new tires put on and an alignment done. They installed the tires and told me they could not do the alignment because the sway bar was broken in two. They also stated it was bad craftsmanship because the bar is a hollow metal tube instead of a solid piece. They also said I needed both inner tie rod ends replaced because the lack of control from the sway bar put stress on them and damaged them. 3) tires were replaced and I was given an estimate of $400 for the sway bar and $300 for the tie rod ends and alignment.

Pulls to one side by model year
What owners say
Engine head gasket failed after warranty had expired, replaced transmission after warranty had expired, steering locked up (repaired under warranty), wears out tires because has pulled to right since day one, have replaced braking system twice
Right front sub frame to control arm bushing inner sleeve rotates in subframe mounting bracket. The separation on the front of the bushing inner sleeve wears on the mounting bracket, eventually enlarging the mounting hole and wearing the metal thickess away. The result is a clucking noise in the front end because of the now loose lower control arm. The federal safety agency item #'s sb036893 and sb045761 reference the complaint but not the real problem. If the front bracket fails totally at some point, the van will lose its rf suspension and steering. Also causes the van to pull to the right, and makes it impossible to align the front end because off approximately noticable toe variation on there right wheel. Ford dealer mechanic says it is a common problem. Just tighten the bolt and hope for the best or replace the entire subframe.
Steering became difficult to maneuver due to defective steering gear box. Vehicle was constant at slow speeds, but pulled to left a thigher speeds.
Misalignment, causing vehicle to pull to the right.
Vehicle pulls to right when driving, making it difficult to maintain steering control. Repaired 5 times tt
