problem #2

Mar 242007

F-250 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 158,000 miles
Power steering bracket broke. Unable to get part through any dealership or junk yard in the United States. Through numerous attempts to get this part I have found that so many have been sold recently that the supply has been exhausted. Therefore, it is now on back order until June. The part appears to be defective after 10 years, and is dangerous as it is associated with the steering and brakes if the motor is a turbo diesel.
