After I purchased my truck, it developed avibration in the rear end. I replaced the tires that were on it when I purchsed it with multi mile wild spirit. The vibration continued. Next I replaced all the rims with new Ford Expedition rims, and the vibration continued. Next, I replaced the shocks on all four corners, and the vibration continues. The tires have been balanced a total of 7 times in 10 months. The vibration occurs between 58 and 75 mph.

[xxx], this is in concern to the E-mail I received from you about the overload springs on my truck. My truck was bouncing real bad, so I took it to the dealer about 4 weeks ago. They supposedly looked it over real good and found no problems. I had a blowout on the highway and noticed the spring was cocked about 20 degrees in the wheel and the overload spring was broke. I called the dealer the next morning and he told me to bring it back in. When I took it in, they finally conceded that something was wrong and ordered a new spring assembly, but told me they couldn't give me a loaner car and said that it would be okay to drive. I had a new spring assembly installed a week later. Today, while installing new shocks, I noticed that the right side is now broke in the same spot, where the spring assembly bolt is at. I called the dealer and they said that they are having problems, but that I shouldn't worry about it, unless it gets worse. I guess they want me to wait til I wreck the [xxx] thing. I know of alot of people who are having these problems. Feel free to call me anytime. By the way, I really need to know if it is okay for me to drive the truck? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
