2004 FORD F-250 SD Suspensionfront Problems

I HAVE A FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 4X4 WITH 94000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO GET THE TIRES ALIGNED AND WAS TOLD THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE EXTREMELY WORN. AFTER GETTING HOME I FOUND THIS WEBSITE [ HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/FORD-F-250-SUPER-DUTY/TJDDVLEKSIR1JMV0J ] AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING AT LOW MILEAGE ON THESE TRUCKS. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT UNTIL I NOTICED EXTREME TIRE WEAR THEN IT WAS TO LATE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSE OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT TOTAL FAILURE. *TR

ON 2004 FORD SUPER DUTY, F-250, THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE LEFT FRONT BALL JOINTS WERE LOOSE. THE VEHICLE HAS 58,246 MILES ON IT WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR MISUSE. THIS IS PRE-MATURE FAILURE OF MAJOR SUSPENSION PARTS. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO STATED THAT FORD KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BALL JOINTS DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE ENGINE. *TR

I OWN A FORD 250 SUPER DUTY 2004. SINCE FEBRUARY 2009 I HAVE SPORADICALLY EXPERIENCED UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT APPEARS THAT IT HAPPENS AFTER MAKING SHARP TURNS OR BUMPS AND DOESN'T MATTER WITH THE SPEED. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A SERVICE CENTER AND 3 OR MORE TIMES THEY'VE TAKEN IT APART AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALER. I DID AND EXPLAINED IT TO THE MECHANIC UPON WHICH HE CLAIMS HE'S NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. AS A LAST RESORT I GOOGLED FORD 250 SHAKY STEERING AND FOUND WHAT THEY CALL "FORD DEATH WOBBLE". TO MY SURPRISE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THIS WITH PEOPLE AS CONFUSED AS MYSELF AND MY MECHANICS. FROM READING IT APPEARS THAT FORD IS AWARE BUT DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF THIS HAPPENING. ALSO SAW THAT I COULD AT LEAST COMPLAIN TO SOMEONE WHO MAY...

DAQTE BELOW IS MOST RECENT DATE - EXPERIENCED BOUNCE, NEARLY INTO ADJACENT TRAFFIC LANE AS A RESULT FO PASSING OVER ROUGH SPOT ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY - HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE 2006. JUST BECAME AWARE OF THIS AS A LARGER ISSUE FROM GOOD SAM CLUB.

AT ABOUT 45 TO 55MPH TRUCK SOMETIMES DEVELOPS A LIGHT SHIMMY IN THE FRONT END. IT OCCASIONALLY BECOMES VERY SEVERE FEELING LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION IS ABOUT TO COME APART. IT IS ESPECIALLY PREVALENT WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT LEFT PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, LIKE WHEN CHANGING LANES. SLOWING WILL ELIMINATE THE BOUNCE, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SLOW QUICKLY WHEN THE FRONT END IS BOUNCING AND SEVERELY VIBRATING. IT CAUSES A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

FORD F-250 KING RANCH I AM A 5 TIME REPEAT FORD CUSTOMER. MY F-250 HAS A BOUNCE IN THAT CANNOT BE CURED. FORD HAD ME REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS. AFTER SPENDING THE MONEY ON THE TIRES, FORD TELLS ME IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE RECENT SERVICE INVOICES WITH "CHECKED AND OK AT THIS TIME" RATINGS ON ALL 4 OF THE OLD TIRES. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, OR REFUND MY TIRES. I HAVE BEEN TO 3 DEALERSHIPS AND IN COMMUNICATION WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND. *TR
