This appears to ba a failure of the front suspension ball joint which I just had repaired under recall at springfield Ford, rincon, GA. According to banner Ford in decatur, GA where the current repair is underway, the retaining nut was not installed properly. It came lose and the rod punctured the right front tire. I own a second Crown Victoria lx, VIN 2falp74w5vx106670. I have written Ford concerning the need to have a similar repair made on this car, but they have not responded in the past month. I would like to bring these two problems to your attention, and ask for any advice or direction you may have to offer.
