WARNING. SAFETY HAZARD ABOUT DURALAST CENTER LINK PART# DS1287, ALTERNATIVE PART NUMBER:DS6070X. I INSTALLED THIS PART IN 2005 FORD E250 BUT YOU CAN INSTALL THIS PART IN OTHER VEHICLES ALSO. I REPLACE CENTER LINK 1.5 YEARS AGO(07/17/2015). METAL THREAD ON BALL JOINT BROKEN AND MADE CAR UNSTEERABLE. THIS HAPPENED AT PARKING WHEN I TURN WHEELS, IF THIS HAPPEN ON HIGHWAY NOT ON PARKING I WILL BE DEATH NOW.
MY 2005 FORD F250 SUPERDUTY CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE VIOLENT STEERING VIBRATION WHEN ENCOUNTERING UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2005 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE I WAS BARELY ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ONCE THE FRONT END OSCILLATION STARTED. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AND IS DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE INTERNET AND IN NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 10028404. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. RECENTLY I HAD NEW MICHELIN TIRES INSTALLED AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT COMPLETED BUT THERE WAS NO IMPROVEMENT IN VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED AGAIN BY THE NHTSA. *TR
