Violent shake in F-150 due to front end. Not the first time it's happened. I replaced rotors and breaks 2 times and took it to get the front end tightened up and aligned to no avail. Very dangerous. www.topix.com/forum/autos/Ford-F-250-super-duty/tohp1M75vbfbft9il/P4.

F-150 4WD 6-cyl

I had driven from buffalo on the thruway doing 65 mph to barker NY and pulled into a parking place when the front radius arm bracket gave way and the radius arm ripped through the radius arm bracket causing the front tire and entire wheel and front end suspension to turn side ways jamming into the rear of the wheel wall. If this had given way on the thruway at 65 mph I would be dead. This is nothing new to Ford trucks; Ford has known about this problem since as far back as 1988 that I know of. The same thing happened to my 1988 Ford Bronco. Ford sold a special repair kit when replacing the radius arm bracket so they had to know there was a dangerous problem. The problem is these radius arm brackets weaken and Ford has had a problem with them rusting through. I was aware of this and checked the radius arm brackets often, but this time there was no evidence of them rusting through. The metal just gave way. This causes the loss of steering and can cause the vehicle to flip over at thruway speeds. The rest of the frame is in good condition so there has to be defects in the radius arms Ford puts on there trucks. I will take pictures and send them to you if you want them. I don't know the extent of the damage yet, it just happened. But my entire front steering suspension is twisted. Aaa towing towed my truck so there''s proof it happened. Please reply.

Truck is not used in commercial hauling or any hauling of heavy loads or pulling any heavy load. Primary use is for commuter transportation to / from work.

The truck makes a popping noise that is not associated with the steering. When body shifts popping noise comes from underneath the cab. Replaced stabilizer arm bushings, this did not fix. Owner thinks noise may be frame/body problem.
