Not only do they rub (slightly) the spring tower but they continually rattle over almost every bump on the road. This drives me up the wall, especially when the front windows are open in town. Question: What are the chances of the front springs breaking, (98 Mystique, 2.5L 5 speed.) are these things actually good to have or are they just another dodge liability thing ....what would you do...pull 'em or keep 'em? 98 Mystique 2.5 5 Speed Bridgestone Potenzas New upstream O2s, new CamPosSens JVC CD DECK, PIONEER SPEAKERS

It's Ford's way of passing the buck. It saves them a ton of money to install these POS shields instead of fixing the real problem and replace the springs. Typical Ford... 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
