Default strut bushing wear TSB

[b][/b I have had a problem with excessive wear on my front left strut bushing; the first time the dealer replaced it on warranty, the next time they said it is being caused by my lowering springs. They also told me there was a TSB related to the problem but once they did the fix and it happened again I was out of luck. Anyone else had any similar problem? The way the problem presents is a groaning sound when turning at low speed like parking.


06 vert. silver satin red leather/bleck roof GT bumper covers, grill/fog lights, rockers, 17" bullitt wheels, GT dual exhaust.

No, it's not PS, the dealer says the strut bushing is popping out because of a bad coil spring. Bad fit or defective load rating; I don't know which but I'm going to have them changed out with Eibachs. That way Ford will warranty parts and labor and I won't have to keep replacing bushings.
