“Front coil springs snapped, had to replaced with reading spring works, they had to send the specks to chicago. My Ford aero star 4 wheel drive & 4.0 v6 is not available from after market. The only option is to buy new or used Ford springs which are made in china. The local Ford dealer admits replacing coil & leaf springs on several models. Midas was so busy replacing Ford springs, they could not set up an appointment to install springs even if I had the springs.”
