What is it with Ford and dangerously soft, sloppy stock suspension? I'm starting to think that it is a fact of life that Ford's stock suspension setup sucks, like the Pope being Catholic or the Sun rising in the east.
We all know that the ST's stock shocks were awful. The Fusion is pretty soft too, but luckily it isn't as brutal as it is a sedan and not an SUV. The Escape's is awful, it reminds me of the ST. I see that its shocks are suspiciously similar in appearance to the unmarked black pieces of junk that came on the Gen 1 STs. I see that the rear sway bar is similarly puny (and I also see drum brakes...in 2012! :fire
Seriously Ford. I'm starting to think that their "sport" suspension options should be standard, I feel like I'm going to roll over on each and every turn in the Escape.
Not that other cars companies don't do this (the RAV4 is even worse) but I hold Ford to a higher standard. :banghead::banghead:
