'97 Ford Escort Rear Springs
« on: November 07, 2004, 04:45:14 pm »
Does anyone know if their is a recall, secret or not, on the rear springs for the '97 model era of the Ford Escort?  Wife's car is looking at it's 3rd set of factory springs after the previus 2 busted.  No particular reason, and it's not like we are towing anyhthing with it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Not bad.  Lib' @ 70K.  Just found a coolant leak last night, though. Could be just a hose.
