problem #4

Jul 072004

F-250 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,000 miles
I turned right into a paint store parking lot after leaving a major highway (M-32) with my 1999 Ford F250 (69000 miles) and noticed a slipping feeling in my steering. When I tried to back up to leave the paint store my right front wheel was pointed to the far right and my left wheel was straight. I looked under the right wheel area and saw the tie rod end was separated from the steering rod. I had the truck transported on a flat bed to a repair shop. I had all the tie rod ends replaced. The repair shop, bedford's muffler & brake (9893458732) has seen this same type of failure recently on a Ford. I have the failed parts and have contacted Ford over a week ago. They have not responded.
