BOTH STEERING BEARINGS (LOCATED IN STEERING COLUMN INSIDE TRUCK CAB) COMPLETELY WORE OUT, STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE. 2001 F150 FORD LARIAT SUPERCREW. MY FRIEND IS A MECHANIC WITH THE WV DEPT OF HIGHWAYS AND HE HAD TO HAVE BOTH THE STEERING BEARINGS IN ALL THE 2000 F150 PICKUPS IN HIS ORGANIZATION REPLACED. THIS IS HOW I KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MINE, IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING THE STATES TRUCKS DONE. LOOSE STEERING WHEEL AND HARD TO STEER. SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AROUND A TURN AN ACCIDENT MAY HAVE OCCURED. I BOUGHT THE TWO BEARINGS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED. NOT SURE IF MECHANIC KEPT THE OLD BEARINGS. *AK
