Any advice would be appreciated:
almost about to buy a T (1999) 2.5 V6 Cougar (1200quid) - seems to be in mint condition, FSH and looks like 2 carefull owners.
However on taking it for a spin (i was in deepest Surrey, so couldn't get past 40MPH!!) i noticed ride was harsh and steering seemed to have a mind of its own when driving over minor road bumps - informed the seller of this
Seller was going to MOT it anyhow - got a call today to say that it had a cracked wishbone, now replaced, passed MOT and had a service
My concern(s):
1. would this be why the ride was so harsh and steering a bit wishy-washy?
2. Should both wishbones have been replaced?
3. Could it have something to do with the subframe not being re-set properly?
4. Anything else i should look out for / be aware of?
Look forward to hearing from you and being a Cougar owner (and then subscribing to this forum)
cheers
