Just picked up a 2006 Escape Hybrid for my college bound daughter. It has 129k miles and was a single owner with records. Suspension needs work so I will do some research here. Makes metallic noise from the rear (subframe bushings?) and the front feels lose when the brakes are applied and right at the point of complete stop, the front makes an additional squirm. Anyway, we are a Ford house so have had an F350 4x4 Crew and still have a sweet 1995 Explorer which was also a one owner (plus the 4 other Fords too lol). Look forward to e-meeting a lot of you!
