I have a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria with 83,000 miles on it. The control arm dropped and hit the road, causing loss of steering. Lucky for us we were going slow turning into a place of business, if we were going fast it could have been bad news. This car started a squeak on the front a little while ago, I guess it had something to do with it. I have noticed alot of 90's and some 2000's model Ford have this same squeak. I contacted Ford, and they said there was no recall on my model, I told them there should be.

1995 Crown Victoria had a blow out on the expressway at 55 mph at about midnight after picking up our grandson from the airport don't know for sure if ball joint broke first or tire did my husband managed to get the car to the side of the road without hitting any thing. This happened May 24th 2009 the other ball joint just broke today August 16 2010 car was going about 5mph when it happened today. What are the odds this was just a coincidences or this was a defect in manufacturing someone could have been killed. We were lucky.

1. I had just backed out of a parking spot, finished turning the car around to face forward and began approaching exit out of parking lot. I estimate speed at the moment of failure was less than five (5) mph. It is very fortunate that I was not going faster or I could have lost control of the crown vic, been killed, or killed someone else. As I began to approach the exit, I heard a sound of metal dragging on the street. I thought I accidentally ran over a metal shopping cart or someone on a bicycle. This is the type of metallic, dragging sound I heard. 2. right-front wheel fell off of car while approaching exit. I looked under my car just after the incident occurred, within approximately one or two minutes as it was then disabled in the lot. I observed ball joint had popped out. 3. Ford replaced the following parts: Arm asy fmc xw1Z 3078 ba, kit-ste fmc F8az 3050 aa, joint asy fmcf7az 3049 aa, link fmc* F6az 5K484 aa, shield fmc* F5az 2K004 a, kit-sho fmc F8az 18124 ha, link spo* F6az 5K484 aa. I do not personally have any of the old parts that were replaced, perhaps Ford does.
