:help: I'm looking for

1. ...a dealer who can work on a Kenny Brown MM in New England.

2. ...control arms problem

I drove about 80K miles without a problem until a knocking sound occurred in my front end. A company called C.A.R.S in Salem, New Hampshire who works with mostly high-end cars replaced my two control arms and problem solved.

But now two years later the exact same noise began again. Without any unusual car issues such as accidents, hitting curbs etc. I'm the only one who drives the car.)

NOTE:The owner solved an electrical problem that Wall's Lincoln Mercury could not, formerly of Methuen MA. They used to service my car until they moved. So C.A.R.S got my business since he was several hundred feet from my business for the next five years.

Summary
Did CARS use original parts? (I haven't gotten the final report about my car's problem yet.)

If it is the control arms, do all of the MM use the same control arms as the other Mercury cars of that vintage or is it specific to the marauder?

Thanking all those who have helped me in the past--now hopefully again for this problem.

You didn't state upper or lower control arms, but, they are the same as the Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town Car. There may be a variation if the Town Car was a limo. Later Crown Vic's and Grand Marq's got a stamped steel lower control arm as opposed to the cast aluminum unit.

As far as a service facility, I'm not local to you, and would be no help.

Is your KB a signature series? What # is it?

Pm RacerX about good shops up your way, he's in the Nashua area. He wrenches his own car mostly but if he did need to have it go to an outside source he would know where the good ones are.

I'm quite certain it was the lower control arms but Ill check and let you know.
