Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ever since i bought my vehicle the rear end sags lower than should be expected on my 1998 ford explorer sport. i said something to the dealership before purchasing it so they could take a look at the rear leaf springs and they told me that there wasn't anything wrong. it is now a year later and and the rear end of my explorer has started sittind lower every month i've had it, and i have also replaced my shcks three times since i have had for 1year. i was wondering if there were any other complaints about this and if there was anything that could be done about it.*ak
