My '02 EX L with 450 miles has developed a suspension noise or rumble when I go over "washboard" sections of paved roads. I had this noise on a '98 Windstar and it was corrected by replacing the front shocks or struts. I have not been back to the dealer yet but I wondered if any one else has had this problem? I never had this on my '99 EX. Except for this, the '02 is quieter.

My '01 has a "knock" over washboard sections which sounds as if something is loose. I had the dealership check it out and they could find no flaw. There was some talk on one of the other boards, Edmunds or Yahoo, which about an improper weld somewhere in the strut towers, but I have not explored that possibility, yet.

A.B.- My experience exactly. When I rode with the tech., the noise would not make itself heard. Funny how they get well when you "take them to the doctor", Hee! Hee! It is good to have documented our complaints, so that if it does get worse, we will have something to fall back on.

A.B., I can't take it anymore. "Hair" is what I'm short of and you keep bringing it up. Can't ya think of some other user name which would not cause me to lose more of it?

A.B.- Just kiddin'! The lack of hair is the least of my problems and if others want to waste hormones growing the stuff, it's o.k. with me. I just wish it had fallen off my face, instead of my head, Hee! Hee!
