The upper control arms on both the driver and passenger side were bad, but once those were replaced nothing else has been a problem.
I love this car, it rides nice, and looks nice as well.
I bought an '89 ford T-bird LX (115,000 miles) 6 months ago. 2 weeks after I bought it, the transmission went.
Winter was fairly uneventful, but it began to creak and groan every time I hit a bump or turned the wheel.
It's leaking steering and brake fluid, last week the alternator went, now I find I need new brakes, the racket pinion is going, the rotors need doing, the exhaust system is rusted out and it is generally a piece of crap car.
It *looks* awesome, it is very comfortable and the costs of running it aren't too bad, but who cares about that when you can barely get it on the road without something else going wrong with it?
I swear I am never buying another Ford again, I'm sticking with foreign cars from now on.
Once again, blame your previous owner, not the car.
Racket pinion! hahahahaha.
