(It is saturday night now, and I am trying to brace myself for the shock come monday morning) I assume that the springs are replaced in pairs, and an alignement is needed also. Sounds like it might be a little bit pricy... Oh yay



There is a recall on the Contour front springs.
The recall supposedly wasnt' extended to include the SVT,
but we are finding out that the SVT is using the SAME SPRINGS !!

You may want to ask your dealership to check on this for you and see if it has been updated.

If the dealers cannot cover the repair under the recall,
after your SVT is repaired, you should file a claim with NHTSA.
If enough SVT owners, those who have made the repairs,
and those who experience the broken springs,
make claims to NHTSA, they will force FORD to extend the coverage to the SVT Vehicles.

NHTSA Complaint Form

This is the ONLY WAY for SVT Owners to be heard !!
