Escort suspension

Hi Dan, from another Dan My daughters 91 merc tracer has 2 broken rear springs and has had them for sometime (couple of years). I was concerned about them until I found out that ford knew about the problem and has declared the broken springs to be a non problem according to a consumer complaint site somewhere. Yes it is a fairly common problem, so much so that Auto Zone sells replacement springs at a reasonable cost (I believe about $50 a set). They are an aftermarket auto parts supplier and would only stock parts if there is a need for them. Or another way to thing about it, enough springs break so they can make money supplying replacements.

Good luck.
