1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original issue with slip differential rear required service at 5,000 miles because of vibration.
Until 76,000 no major repairs until front struts and radiator needed replacement.
118,000 miles required front ball joints to be replaced.
171,000 UV Shaft repair needed.
Everything on the car has been a grand slam.
General comments?
The car offers a solid feel while the cabin noise is minimal.
