Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Everytime i hit a bump on a road i hear noise (clunk) on a front end driver side of the car. You think i need new shocks or tie rods or stabilizer maybe? I don't have DPFE (Delta Pressure feedback Sensor) but i have Differential Pressure Feedback EGR, is it the same thing? Thanks, Nempeno

Check the sway bar end links, approx. $20 each.

I agree with vaughn, the sway bar endlinks tend to get worn and loosen, i paid 30 for each.
