I was driving up a slight hill and I noticed ahead that there was water running down the hill. The roadway was asphalt and it had turned black because of the water on it. The water was only about an inch or two deep but I still wondered if there was a hole in the road. I watched the car in front...

After driving it for awhile it has started to work okay. No more problems!!

The jerking problem is slowly going away the more that I drive it. So I guess it was just some air in the system. If I have any problems later I'll post it.

Does anyone know where I might purchase this part with polyurethane bushings?

I have a 2001 Mountaineer 5.0 with about 90k on the clock. Tonight when I started it up the engine ran rough. At the tail pipe it sounded like a dead miss. I checked under the hood for loose spark plug wires or a vacuum hose that may have come off. Everything looked okay. I turned off the engine...
