1997 Mercury Mountaineer suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After getting my mountaineer back from accident related repairs I noticed that while backing &/or turning there was a popping sound from the front of the vehicle. One of the control arms was replaced due to the accident, the other one was replaced in 9/1999 & the vehicle is making the popping sound again.
Vehicle drifts to right, repair attempted several times, install camber caster and toe were off specs, replace front power steering purge.
Vehicle pulls to the right and has been serviced six separate times since may, 1997.
Front end misaligned, causing veicle to pul to the right.
