This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
About 3-4 years ago, the left stabilizer link broke. I noticed a loud thump when hitting bumps after pulling off the interstate. 2 weeks ago, we had a loud thump under the passenger side of the vehicle, this time the right stabilizer link was broke. This problem appears to have been investigated in the past here, however it seems to have been dismissed. This problem increases the roll of the front end when turning and can be dangerous in a quick turn to avoid an accident, etc. This vehicle is not used off road or where increased stresses are put on the suspension. This is the second occurrence on this vehicle.

Bolt that holds front stabalizer to driver side wheel suspension assembly has either snapped or worked itself out and is missing. This causes a clunking sound when turning or travelling over bumps. Concern over loss of front stability while turning. No impact or collision is responsible for this problem
Went for tires on my 1998 Ford Expedition and was shown that both left and right front stabilizer links were missing. Did a web search and saw many references to an investigation in 2001 into faulty stabilizer links on this model. Was there a resolution? looking for reimbursement
I just had to replace the front stabilizer bar links on my 1998 Expedition. My husband had to replace the links on his 1997 Expedition during the past year, too.
I have a 1998 Ford Expedition XLT, and I have found that both front stabilizer bar links are broken off. This is a major road hazard to my life and anyone else on the road. Has this been recalled. I know someone that just had to replace theirs. If not for them I would be no wiser.
Consumer called complaining about having problems with swab bar links. Also stated that because of that it causes the steering to not be the way that is supposed to be. Dealer was contacted and have not found any problems.

While getting other repairs done on vehicle technician pointed out that there was no stabilizer bar. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
Vehicle would rock at any speed due to stabilizer bar bolts missing, and allowing bar to hang from vehicle. Mechanic had bolts replaced. This problem also caused tires to wear uneven.
Vehicle would pull to the right. Contacted dealer, and informed consumer that alignment might be off. Problem was due to breaking of links on stablizer bar.
