horseydug, I believe you are correct about dropping the subframe.

I got an estimate for $345 from the dealer because there's 4 hours labor involved!

I tried a length of high pressure hose to patch, but none of the clamps I had could hold it.

At least I wanted a temporary fix so I could drive (limp) to the dealer. Now I have to have it towed.

AArrgghh!



When I bought my 1995 Contour I always joked I would drive it until the wheels fell off...never did I realize that with this car, that could actually happen!
