SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AT LEFT REAR OF A ARM COMES LOOSE CAUSING THE LOWER PORTION OF FRONT TIRE/WHEEL TO MOVE OUT. THIS CAUSES FRONT END ALGI. PROBLEMS/TIRE WEAR AND WITH THE LOWER A ARM MOVING MAY CAUSE THE BOLT TO SHEAR OFF. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD WOULD HAVE A FIX IN THE YEAR 2002. THEY ALSO STATE THAT THERE NOT ENOUGHT PEOLPE WITH THE PROBLEM FOR THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL OR EVEN PUT OUT A MEMO TO DEALERS.I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OVER 15 OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE U.S. ON THE WEB.*AK

#724760June 29, 2000
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
SINCE THE CONTROL ARM KEEPS SHIFTING DUE TO THE OBLONG HOLE THAT THE BOLT IS HELD IN, THE ALIGNMENT IS ALWAYS INCORRECT...MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP VEHICHLE STRAIGHT AT 60 MPH. IF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM KEEPS SHIFTING, I'M SURE THE BOLT THAT KEEPS THE CONTROL ARM IN PLACE WILL EVENTUALLY BE SHEARED OFF......CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BOLT IS MOUNTED IN A SLOTED HOLE WITH NO LOCKING MECHANISM. THIS ALLOWS THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND MAKE "CLUNKING" NOISES. I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF AT LEAST 237 FAILURES OF THIS MODEL THROUGH THE F150ONLINE MESSAGE BOARD. FORD MAINTAINS THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO FIX IT. MY DEALER, BELL FORD, WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION FROM FORD. THUS, A VEHICLE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF CONTROL REMAINS ON THE ROAD.*AK
