Consumer Description

WE OWN A FORD F350, 2005 MODEL WITH ABOUT 6000 MILES. ON SUN.,3/4, AS MY WIFE DROVE AWAY FROM A SERVICE STATION PUMP, SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, I.E. SHE COULD NOT STEER. LUCKY FOR HER SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY. WE FOUND THAT THE NUT HOLDING THE PIVOT ARM WITH THE STEERING LINKAGE HAD SHEARED OFF ALONG WITH THE COTTER PIN HOLDING THE NUT. THE NUT THREADS WERE STRIPPED OFF. I HAVE THE FAILED NUT ALONG WITH RING/CLIP HOLDING THE COTTER PIN. THE BOLT THREADS ON THE LINKAGE, TO THE EYE APPEAR TO BE O'K. AS STATED THOUGH, THE NUT THREADS WERE STRIPPED OFF. WAS THIS DUE TO A SOFTER METAL BEING USED, OVER TORQUING OR A BAD NUT??' THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO NEWBERG FORD IN NEWBERG, OR. *JB
