STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
TIE ROD END CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35 MPH. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED WE WERE TOLD BOTH BALL JOINTS NEED REPLACING. THE MECHANIC MADE THE COMMENT TO US THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL FORD F-150'S WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND KNOW OF OTHER GARAGES REPORTING THE SAME. WE FEEL FORTUNATE WE WERE NOT INJURED. WE TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE MOST OF THE TIME AT SPEEDS OF 55-60MPH AND WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED FOR SURE. WE FEEL THAT THE REPAIRS NECESSARY ON A TRUCK OF THIS LATE MODEL IS EXCESSIVE AND WONDERED IF A RECALL WAS IN ORDER. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET WHICH FORTUNATELY WAS UNDER WARRANTY.*AK
