1 Rear Suspension Leaf Spring U-bolt problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2003

Ever since I bought my vehicle the rear end sags lower than should be expected on my 1998 Ford Explorer Sport. I said something to the dealership before purchasing it so they could take a look at the rear leaf springs and they told me that there wasn't anything wrong. It is now a year later and and the rear end of my explorer has started sittind lower every month I've had it, and I have also replaced my shcks three times since I have had for 1year. I was wondering if there were any other complaints about this and if there was anything that could be done about it.
