Steering problem
2001 Ford Focus 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
The sway control link on the front passenger side of my focus is worn and poped off today when I hit a bump. I got the part and replaced it. It seemed pretty straight forward. When I backed up to go for a test drive and tuned the wheel I heard a loud snapping noise. It must have something to do with the new linkage I put in. I don't know if I missed something or what. I torqued the nuts to 30lbs. kevin
