Ford: Ford Taurus 1994 Wagon Rear Camber Bold

American manufacturers send out vehicles with very limited
or no adjustment to alignment every day.
They have employees in the factories that they don't trust
enough to make sure the bolts are tight, so you get hugh
rivets and such. It's a matter of overpaid UAW employees
not being good enough at using hand tools to build your car.

I still buy only US made cars because I am an American.
But it is getting hard to tell my wife she can't have a Honda
or Altima when I read of so many legit problems people have
with American cars. I have good luck with them but not many
people take the kind of care of vehicles that I do.

Do a search, there is certainly a Taurus website where you can
get advice, but you will probably get it here.

Scott,
Thanks for your response. I have searched and found some info on the net but
not specifics. eg. that the camber permanent and that you need an after
market kit to replace existing parts to fix. I'm searching out more data.

As far as your opinion on American Cars, While I might agree with you about
buying American the problem is that by buying American all you are doing is
allowing the American Auto industry, Unions and Management to continue to
screw their own people. So on the one hand they say buy American, but with
the other they give us the finger once you have bought the car. By
continuing to buy American you are only fostering more poorly built cars,
there is no motivation to build better cars. For years the common phrase
was, it cheap Japanese junk. You don't say that now. I would never buy an
American camera for example. ( do we even make one). The Japanese did what
car manufactures have never learned. Build it better. Honestly my next car
definitely will be a Toyota or some Japanese car. Why should I support the
Fat Unions or Fat executives who don't give a darn about building a better
car but just making money and relying upon a patriotic customer to buy their
rotten cars. In fact they car so little that even when cars kill eg SUV's
and tires they hide it until the military finds out, because soldiers where
being killed and finally breaks the story. Later discovering that the
manufacturers knew all along but felt it was an acceptable loss. The
manufacturers are not very patriotic. Why should you be? So I say buy the
best (not American). The only thing that will get better cars out of them is
hurt them at the bank.

Any way I hope NO ONE response this is not the forum for this. But I suppose
some goofy person will. I'm just responding you your email. I'm just looking
for technical advice, to keep this junker on the road another year before I
buy Japanese. Ford lost me as a customer and I'm sure they could car less,
cause if they ve got patriotism why do they need customer satisfaction.

Regards

Considering it is a TSB issued by Ford, with Ford part numbers, you draw the
conclusion.
