Problem overview

Some Ford Probe owners report experiencing poor handling characterized by the front end dropping during hard braking. This issue may stem from breakdowns in the front coil springs, which can cause the vehicle to sag on one side while braking. Additionally, worn bushings, suspension components, or poor alignment can contribute to instability during these critical moments. To mitigate these concerns, owners are advised to inspect the front coil springs for any damage and replace them as needed. Furthermore, a thorough examination of the suspension components, including bushings and alignment, is recommended to identify any worn or bent parts. Addressing these potential causes can enhance the handling and stability of the Ford Probe during hard braking situations.
