Front Suspension problem #1

The problem started a year of two after purchase. It abruptly jerks to the right on left turns from a stand still or while driving on the highway. It's been worked on at least 4 times by the dealership but with no success. I have reported it to Lincoln customer service but got no help.

Suspension Noise problem #2

While driving at approximately 60-65mph there is vibration in steering wheel, and steering wheel moves back and forth. On bumpy roads vibration seems worse. Appears to be loose or out of balance, dealer adjusted suspension/ nuts and bolts, areas were tightened. Then there was a popping noise. When popping noise went away, vibration came back and so forth. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.

Suspension problem #3

Driving vehicle at 75 mph highway speeds there is a harmonic vibration that occurs, causing poor visibilty out of rear window. Dealers are aware of this problem.
