#705645April 15, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE IS A POLICE PACKAGE CROWN VICTORIA USED FOR PARAMEDIC SERVICE. WE BEGAN TO NOTICE THE VEHICLE SWAY SUBTLY WITH BRAKING, ACCELERATION, AND ROAD IMPERFECTIONS IN JAN 1999. IN MARCH, THE REAR AXLE BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD BANGING NOISE UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. IT WAS TAKEN TO CHAPMAN LINCOLN-MERCURY, BALTIMORE PIKE, SPRINGFIELD, PA 19064 (610-544-0100), WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS OF A LOOSE/MISSING PASSENGER SIDE REAR TRAILING ARM WAS MADE. APPARENTLY, A BOLT HAD WORKED LOOSE, AND THAT SIDE OF THE AXLE WAS BASICALLY HELD IN PLACE BY THE SHOCK ABSORBER AND LEAF SPRING. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HIGH SPEED HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE, OR EVEN CAUSE THE AXLE TO BREAK COMPLETELY FREE, WITH POTENTIALLY FATAL IMPLICATIONS. I WOULD APPRECIATE BEING INFORMED OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS, PREFERABLY VIA E-MAIL. THANKS.
