1 Front Suspension Hub problem of the 1998 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 01/21/2000

My wife was turing left at a red light and was waiting for pedistrians to cross the street. As she turned the corner the right front tire snapped off of the hub and almost hit a lawyer! all five of the studs broke off, the metal indicated they were fresh breaks. There was not any indication of the nuts being lose, the nuts were still screwed on the studs. The wheel and nuts did not look scared as if they had been lose. Pior to the wheel coming off there had been no shimmy or vibration at all. I had driven the vehicle the previous night and had not felt anything out of the ordinary. She had only accelerated from the left turn position about 15ft and could not have been going faster than 5 mph. The vehicle had not been serviced after we purchased it. Thank god she was not on the interstate in 5'oclock traffic!.
