Linkage Gone Again?
#1
About 20,000 km ago I had my rear linkage replaced because the car was knocking everytime I went over a bump... It was fine after that, but now (I'm at 53,000 km) I get a "squeeking" sound when I got over a large bump.. I sat in the hatch yesterday and pushed my weight down and got a little knock... could it be gone again already?

The car is well out of warranty now, but because it was replaced less than 2 years ago, will Ford fix it again?

Call Ford and ask what the warrantee is on replaced Ford parts. I of all people should know this.

I away thought it was 1 yr/20,000 km, but I'm gonna bitch like a mofo because the car is still under 60,000 km. Does this sound like a linkage to you guys tho?

Check the prings and bushings. You might have a rotted spring or rubber bushing.

You may have also blown a strut too.

Just changed the springs and dampers last year, so they're good.
