 1999 mercury mountaineer sway bar failure. consumer states that front passenger sway bar link was sheared off. then he noticed the driver side sway bar link was the same way. consumer replaced both of the links. *kb the consumer stated a recall had been issued for earlier models. *jb

 As the owner and driver of the vehicle at the time of incident, i feel that the mountaineer had an obvious design flaw which promoted the chance of it rolling. the roll over occurred following braking and steering to avoid a collision. once heavier braking was applied, the car began to rock and then rolled over 2 times.it is apparent that this model suv and others had a high center of gravity and a narrow wheel base. the accident referred to in this report may not have occurred those characteristics were not present.*ak
