2000 Ford Expedition, eddie bauer concern: Front stabilizer link bolts appear to be counterfit. The bolts fail at the top connection to the stabilizer bar at 62,000-65,000 miles. This creates unsafe steering and handling under many driving conditions. The head of the bolt shears off. The oem bolt does not meet the strength requirements for this vehicle. Replacement bolts contained in the link kits from Ford are not the same. The bolts are galvanized and appear to be imperial (british) standard vice metric. The local Ford dealer where I purchased the new link kits says that they discover many such failures and sell many replacement kits for this vehicle. These bolts are lifetime items. They should never fail. The results could be catastrophic. I have the remainder of the assembly that recently failed. The other side failed last spring and the assembly fell off completely. I would like to send that parts that I have to your research group.
