The contact owns a 2006 Lincoln Mark lt. While driving 45 mph, the suspension loosened and the vehicle dropped to the ground. The tires began to skid and the vehicle struck a mountain and bounced back into traffic. There were no other vehicles involved in the crash. After the vehicle was inspected, the contact was informed that the front strut was welded incorrectly. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 20,300. Updated 01/14/08. Upon inspection, the welding was not properly fused to the shaft. Under stress the shaft came apart and locked the wheel. Welding on two sides of the shaft was not sufficient to hold the stress load.

: the contact stated while driving 65mph, there is a pronounced vibration throughout the truck. The vehicle was seen by a dealer, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem with the suspension.
The vehicle has an abnormal vibration when traveling 65 mph and more. I've owned the vehicle less than 2 weeks and it has been at the Ford dealerships service dept. 3 times. The dealership has not fixed the problem and does not know the cause of this problem. The dealership service dept. Informed me all of the same type of vehicles they have in there inventory have the same problem. The dealership has balanced the original tires, replaced the original tires with new tires and checked front end alignment.
