Okay, still don't have my car. They said the right hub bearing was shot. This I knew. They said the other side was beginning to go too. Both needed replaced. I never noticed anything about the steering 'cause she cornered fine to me but they said the right tie rod was loose. I took them at their word. Brakes and rotors I could change myself but as somebody suggested, the car is already half apart so I let them do it.

Yes, they said the plastic strut bearings were shot. Ford called back today and also said they snapped a spring and were holding the car another day til they could locate springs. They are replacing both sides at Ford's expense. He said he did some finangling.

The e-brake, well, they said the one side was seized which I think is bull because I never noticed any problems. Besides, I don't use my emergency brake that much. However, they said it was necessary to replace in order to pass inspection here in Pennsylvnaia. When they got you over the barrel, what are you gonna do? At 66K miles, I will never buy another Ford. I still have a bank one cyclinder one O2 sensor to replace. And, the tranny doesn't shift into 2nd when cold. The car is fast and corners like on rails and is a blast to drive....but it doesn't make sense cost wise.
