SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR
THE TORSION BAR SNAPPED CAUSING THE FRONT END TO FALL. ON THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT EXCEED 30 MPH BECAUSE TRUCK WOULD BEGIN TO BOUNCE AND CAUSE STEERING DIFFICULTY. I AM EMPLOYED WITH AN AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER AND THE ENGINEERS AT WORK TELL ME THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE MORE THAN LIKELY ROLLED THE TRUCK. I DRIVE A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE TO AND FROM WORK AND MOST OF THIS MILEAGE IS VIA THE FREEWAYS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESSEARCH AND FIND THAT MANY FORD 1998 4X4 F150'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASSURED ME THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY PART AND YET NO RECALL FROM FORD. THE SECOND ITEM IS A CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL OF THE DOOR. I DISCOVERED THIS LAST NIGHT AFTER READING ABOUT THE PROBLEM FROM MANY F150 OWNERS ON THE INTERNET. ALTHOUGH I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ONLY LAST NIGHT I WILL BE RETURNING ONCE AGAIN TODAY. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY FORD. *AK
