Dear sirs; I am a night shift autoworker at Ford Ranger plant in st paul. My job is to build and mount a swaybar on the rear axle. For over a year I have expressed my concerns to management about the proper angle to mount the swaybar brackets. I feel like I have been stonewalled, told things like "it doesen't matter". It does matter to our customers. They want that swaybar to be perfect. It might make all the difference if there has to be a hard swerve to avoid a deer or child in the road. There needs to be some numerical point of reference on record in the manufacturing process guidelines. The operator either needs a tongue and groove system on the axle and swaybar bracket and/or some type of fixture that would act as a guide to insure the correct angle is achieved for every build process. There also needs to be an instrument that capable of checking each one for correct angle.
