THE LEFT FRONT DISC ROTORS OUTER RING CAME APART FROM ITS CENTER HUB. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT DISC ROTORS MYSELF. AT AN AAA INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS HAD FAILED ALSO. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED BECAUSE OF A JERKING FEELING UPON ACCELERATING. THE MOUNTS HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL ON 5/21/92. BUT THE REPLACEMENT MOUNTS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE MOUNTS AND THEY AGREED TO REPLACE THEM. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALER. AFTER SHOWING UP. INCOMPLETE SUMMARY. *AK
