WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT BEARING ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP DUE TO LACK OF GREASE IT ALMOST PUT ME IN THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER,BRANDON FORD, AND THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE RIGHT ASSEMBLY COSTING ABOUT $600 AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DID NOT,HOWEVER,CHECK OR REPALCE THE LEFT SIDE ASSEMBLY WHICH FAILED AT HIGHER SPEED. THE LEFT SIDE ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP 200 MILES LATER WHILE I WAS TAKING IT IN TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND THIS TIME AT 65MPH AND ALMOST THREW ME INTO A RETAINING WALL BEING USED ON I-4 AT MLK IN TAMPA.

AS CLOSE AS IT WAS TO CAUSING A WRECK,I...
