All,
We had a front spring (driver's side) break on our 1996 Ford Contour Sport (4-cylinder, 5-speed, AC) and I ordered springs and struts from Rock Auto. Problem is that the car is sitting too high in the front and the wheels are cambered out at the top after replacement. Springs are Raybestos and the part number ordered and on the packing list matches and is supposed to be for our car, but there was no part number on the springs or the box they came in so I wonder if we were shipped the wrong springs - maybe for the V6 instead of the 4?
Any thoughts on what else could cause this problem? Should I just order springs from Ford to be sure I'm getting the right thing?
Thanks in advance!
Scott
