Ahhh,,,! Thnx,fer the info,I was not sure what the heck it was:LOL: I was thinking lowering the center of gravity:LOL: :rolleyes:
My '85 Cougar had one on the tranny tailshaft. One night coming home from the Dog Track I heard an explosion, and my gas gauge started dropping real fast. I got off the interstate and had the car towed home because there was a huge gash in the fuel tank.
Come to find out that weight broke away from the tranny and bounced up and ruined the tank. Ford had a recall and extended the warranty to 50,000 miles, but my car had 50,300 on it and they refused to make it good. When I threatened to sue them they guy on the phone said "go ahead buddy, we have tons of Attorneys on staff just waiting for some work!"
Needless to say, I bought my own tank and fixed it, but never bought another new Ford after that.

Pretty rotten of Ford! :mad: But not the first or last bad story I've heard about Ford doing right by it's customers. Don't blame you for the boycott.
We had a Plymouth Neon that was several thousand miles out of warranty when the trans died. Seem that there was a recall on it that was not sent out to us. Chrysler stil repaired the trans, all we paid for was the fluids. Much better wat to treat customers.:D
