I had this job done jan 2009; now i have this problem again of losing air on passenger side; putting air in tire all of the time; feels bouncy on rt side; then i put air in and it loses it and the car rattles on that side; it's always the rt side.

The strut spring broke as I backed out of the driveway and all the weight of the auto rested on the front tire(new). Once again the throw away car burns me. Sadly the sway bars have been replaced twice, gotta wonder if the crappy sway bars caused damage to the spring. I am slowly removing the ford parts, hoping to have a decent car someday.

And they wonder why people do not buy American cars?
