problem #1

Mountaineer 4WD

  • miles
After getting my Mountaineer back from accident related repairs I noticed that while backing &/or turning there was a popping sound from the front of the vehicle. One of the control arms was replaced due to the accident, the other one was replaced in 9/1999 & the vehicle is making the popping sound again.
