1997 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"Overall I really like the car, but I firmly believe Ford should look at a recall on the bearings"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear bearings are shot to the point the wheel could fall off... literally.
General comments?
I like the overall performance of the car. The seats are comfortable and everything is in a fairly easy-to-reach location.
However, four days after I purchased the car, I had to pump roughly $200 to have the rear bearing (s) replaced because of the severity of the bad part. The wheel could've come right off!
