IT WAS ALSO MAKING A BANG NOISE WHEN TURNING RIGHT.  THOUGHT THAT THE SHOCKS WERE BAD AND WAS PLANNING ON REPLACING THEM.  ON FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 2010 WE WERE LOADING THE FAMILY AND DOG FOR A TRIP TO THE BEACH.  PRIOR TO PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL TILTED INWARDS AT THE TOP.  AT THAT POINT I REMOVED THE FAMILY FROM THE VEHICLE AND JACKED UP THE REAR OF THE VAN.     UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE REAR AXLE BEAM WAS CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 12-18 INCHES IN FROM THE LEFT WHEEL.  I WENT ON LINE AND IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED ANOTHER 50+ COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME FAILURE.  I INITIALLY THOUGH IT BROKE DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE POTHOLES IN THE REGION.  HOWEVER, I NOW FEEL THAT THIS MAY BE A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM AND A DEFECT WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.    THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE BEAM.  THE PART ALONE COST $500 OR MORE. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
