What owners wrote
After getting my mountaineer back from accident related repairs I noticed that while backing &/or turning there was a popping sound from the front of the vehicle. One of the control arms was replaced due to the accident, the other one was replaced in 9/1999 & the vehicle is making the popping sound again.
Having problems with the front stabilizer bars on my 1997 mercury mountaineer. I have replace them 4 times and within 6 to 8 weeks they break again. Ford had a recall and fixed them the first time and ever since then I have had trouble keeping them from breaking. Without them the truck bounces alot and hard to hold on the road.
