Abnormal rate of rear springs on late 90's Ford Escort station wagons. I am a mechanic with brownies auto repair in walkersville, md. I personally have replaced the rear springs on at least 8 Escort wagons. I have checked other Escort wagons and find most broken in the same spot. Could puncture tire.
