What a pain in the butt, why didn't they replace them all while the whole rear end was dropped down? friggen tight asses!I haven't had to take my car in for any warranty yet, but I've got little faith with them, I don't even want to leave my car with them for half a day just to replace a little bit of trim inside the car.

Posted 07/12/08 05:17 AM Share Posted 07/12/08 05:17 AM so I gets me car back only to find out that they have also onlyy replaced 1 bush in the diff.... so now I have 1 new nolethane bush, 1 half f*&kd normal bush, and 1 pretty much F*^$ed old bush.It was in hearing this all my trust in ford has been diminished. I will never ever buy another new ford, or 1 that is in warranty, as warranty means sh*t allThis is just one of the reasons I argued with him about (sevice dude) Im sick of hearing their excuses, and "that's normal" when u know its not.Sorry yall 4 whining but just had to get it outgot it back the other day but have been putting this reply offWouldn't suprise me them just fixing one bush! They are tighter than a nuns nasty when it comes to that stuff! They old saying is for them if it aint broke don't fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I got ripped I thought I got a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
