STEERING:LINKAGES
PITMAN ARM ASSEMBLY. I HAVE AN F-250 "LIGHT DUTY" 3/4 TON. I HAVE A NOISE FROM THE PITMAN ARM ASSEMBLY/GEAR BOX. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATED NO RECALL ON THAT COMPONENT. HOWEVER, HE DID SAY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXPEDITION BECAUSE OF PITMAN ARM PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT A DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO LUBRICATE THIS MECHANISM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT STEERING SAFETY AND IF THE EXPEDITION WAS RECALLED, IS THIS SIMILAR. PLEASE RESPOND VIA EMAIL. THANKS*AK
