    Rant

    Ford sucks.. seriously, I have an '03 sport xlt, with 16k miles on it. The driver side spring is sagging 3/4" already! What a defective POS. Im going in tomorrow to see if they will replace it under the factory waranty :mad: I just think that that is unacceptable on such a new vehicle.
