My husbands 2002 mountaineer is making a similar grinding noise, seems like from the front drivers side. He noticed that there is also some black residue of some kind, we assume from the tire??? Any ideas? This car has been giving us nothing nothing but trouble the past few months!!

I have a 95 that's still running great! My husband has an 02 mountaineer that has been giving us MANY problems! I feel very safe in my van...it's seriously "built Ford tough!" Planning on selling soon though. Wish they still had them in production. I wouldn't get a Windstar but if they still...

Hi Explorer Pete! I actually ordered 2 kits from SwedenBob. My dad & husband failed to read instructions on how to install the first on & used too much force with a C-Clamp & broke it! Thankfully, I contacted SwedenBob that night & he sent out another part within 2 days. I guess getting the...

Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with Dorman & the lady I spoke to said that the part is an "Original" part from the manufacturer so it's made of the same material. I wish someone would be able to cast it out if steel or some more solid metal. SwedenBob has been very easy & pleasurable to...

Ok my husband's mountaineer is just not operation, AT ALL!! It all started a few weeks ago when his gear shift completely broke off. We managed to find help on the forum & have since found the replacement part which came in today! We haven't had a chance to change it yet but in the meantime...

I don't know...I'd definitely think twice about it since "parts/retail companies" are, like the manufacturers, looking to make as much profit as they possibly can. That's "corporate" business! I think it's a gamble because you took an idea that MANY of these Ford/Mercury owners could only wish...

Ok so thanks for all the help guys! We were successfully able to locate the lever to manually shift the car. My husband was able to shift the car into gear & it seemes to be working fine, but once he put it into park, & tried to put it back into gear, it wouldn't move. Seems like the cable...

I'm sorry but I'm not that mechanically inclined...LOL!! So he can manually shift it?? I'm assuming all gears are available that way? I mean basically he just needs park, reverse & drive. Does manually shifting consist of exposing all the internal workings on the steering wheel? Right now he...

My husband's 2002 mountaineer had the exact same problem! This just happened 3 days ago & we have had to rent a car until we can get it repaired. It's very frustrating because we were also told it will cost us $1,300 to replace the entire steering column assembly! When & where can I get this...
