Details

Note: 1996-99 crown victoria police, fleet and ngv and lincoln town car limousine equipped with a lower control arm ball joint containing a one piece bearing and 1990-96 crown victoria police, fleet and ngv and lincoln town car limousine that were serviced with either a ball joint containing an one piece bearing or a front lower control arm with a one piece bearing.

High bearing loads can lead to thinning and eventual cracking of the lower control arm ball joint.

This can result in separation of the ball and cap of the joint.

Should this occur, the control arm to which the cap is mounted will drop to the ground.

Should this occur while the vehicle is moving, reduced steering control could result in a collision.

Correction: Lower control arm ball joints will be replaced.
