I have a Ford Ranger edge 2001. I purchased it Jun 11 2003. I just started feeling weird vibrations and sounds from the front end.I took it to a mechanic and he told me both upper suspension arms need replacing.this is going to cost over a $1000 dollars. I was told if I don't do it soon I could loose one or both of my front tires at high speed or off road. He also told me he has a lot of Ford Ranger are having the same problem. Please help.
