Consumer Description

THE STEERING SHAFT IS SIEZIHG CAUSING THE WHEEL NOT TO CENTER IT SELF AND STEERS HARD . IT DOES NOT SELF CENTER AFTER CORNERING. YOU CAN'T TELL IF YOUR WHEEL IS TURNED ON SLIPPERY ROADS . I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE . I'M A LICENSED MECHANIC AND THIS HARD STEERING WOULD NOT PASS A MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION IN OUR SHOP.I THINK FOMOCO SHOULD FIX THIS . AS FAR AS I'M AWARE IT IS ONLY THE 2004-2008 MODEL TRUCKS.
