FRONT SUSPENSION; THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND STERRING WHEEL VIBRATE AND SHIMMY AT ALL SPEEDS. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER SAT RIGHT IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE LEANING.

#746431 | June 18, 2001

I BELIEVE THIS TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. I THINK THIS BECAUSE OF THE BAD FIBERGLASS WORK ON THE ROOF AND BAD PAINT JOB. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE FRONT END PROBLEMS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. I BELIEVE ONCE THIS TRUCK IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THERE IS NO REPAIR TO MAKE IT SAFE AGAIN. I ALSO WONDER IF THE ACCIDENT THE TRUCK WAS INVOLVED IN IS RELATED TO THE TIRE AND ROLLOVER RECALL FROM FORD AND FIRESTONE. *AK

INITIAL FAILURE DUE TO VERY MINOR DIP IN I-80 FROM BRIDGE TO ASPAULT TRANSITION. FAILURE RESULTED IN UNCONTROLLABLE VEHICLE OSCILLATION AND SUBSEQUENT SPIN-OUT INCLUDING TIRE, BUMPER AND MINOR INJURIES FROM SPIN. VEHICLE WAS UNSTABLE AND WOULD START OSCILLATIONS ABOVE 30 MPH. A SECOND SPIN-OUT OCCURRED WHEN TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION AT AROUND 35 MPH - NO DAMAGE FROM ACCIDENT.
