Front Suspension Problems of Mercury Villager

In the past year my van has had 3 alignments all on the front right wheel. I've been told that the roads in okla. Are the reason . My husband drives 50 miles every day for work and his car does not have an alignment problem. My thought is if the roads are so bad here why aren't there more cars getting alignments checked every day? I wondered if other people have encountered this problem?.

Area in shock towers where strut rod is secured to structure with a nut appears extremely corroded for a vehicle with only 39000 miles. It is not just surface rust, but flaking as well. There is much more corrosion in this area then I have seen on other vehicles I have owned with over 100,000 miles. I fear that in coming years a structural problem may develop. Contacted service department were I purchased the vehicle. I discribed the situation to the service technician. He said this was "normal" and I had nothing to be concerned about.

Vibration in front. Dealer balanced tires and then replaced tires. Still vibrates and thumps. Dealer says Ford is looking into it.

Light feel and side to side steering wheel wobbled only at low speeds 5-15 mph-problem is intermittent but dealer confirms problem, but is mystified.

While driving 40 mph + front end shakes vigorously which may cause a loss of vehicle control dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. Please provide further information.

While driving 60-65 mph or on a windy day, constant whistling is heard. Area dealer says Ford is aware of condition.
