    Tired of Ford Discontinued MM Parts

    Ive really had enough of Ford and their bs. I cant get a MM specific Rack and pinion 3W1Z-3504-GARM. No parts warehouses in the whole country has one and it looks like i have to wait to see if Ford is ever gona get off their ass and build one for me as we speak.

    Everybody wants to sit here and talk about Marauder this Marauder that but nobody wants to talk about getting in Fords ass and building MM specific parts again. Nobody wants to talk about getting Ford to build the OEM front and rear bumpers again or the dot matrix panel, seat covers, etc. Bottom line is parts for these cars are really getting extinct. Even if you do luckily find a discontinued MM specific part sitting in the warehouses, its gona be nearly 4 times the price it was originally. It doesnt make no sense. I REALLY HATE FORD. If somebody with a 1993 Honda can get a part for their car and i cant get a part for my 2003 Mecury Marauder, something is definitely wrong here.

    Ford can go suck big ones cause im not gona be sitting here making Ford rich anymore. Il drive my Marauder into Ford headquarters in Dearborn Mi and cash out. I just might have to get that S63 AMG Benz ive been dreaming all my life for.

    lol I hear ya. I have easier time finding some parts for my 1988 Ford but it was built in larger numbers. But I don't think Ford will budge. My best hope is for a aftermarket company to license building some of these parts from Ford, like places on Year One, etc. Ford gets its money and the aftermarket company gets its money.

    You can have your Rack and Pinion rebuilt brah.

    Or you can get a regular rack and pinion from a Grand marquis and live without the Variable assist steering.

    No car mfg has to make parts after 8 years from the day the last car rolls off the line.

    I know the feeling. I have a 1995 F-150 but it is a Mark III conversion truck. Wheels, running boards, wheel flairs, leather seats, color keyed grill, rails on top of the bed, parts are very hard to find. I really need a mark III insert for the wheel, a disk the size of our gods head logo.
