    1. As i was leaving the wal-mart parking lot the right front upper ball joint on my 1995 ford f-150 4x4 broke apart and disabled the vehicle. The ball joint manufacturer apparently did not put grease in the joint when it was manufactured. 2. I do not know how often this part fails on the ford f-150. It failed on my vehicle at 62k miles due to a manufacturing deficiency. Fortunately the failure was at parking lot…

    Dt*: the contact stated the front end vibrated at 45mph and above. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection numerous times. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, transmission mounts, cut the rotors and tightened the pinion in the rear end. Although these repairs were made, this did not remedy the problem.

    Excessive tire wear on all four tires in a 9 month time span. Had dealership look at the truck and was told that the alignment was off and it wasn't up to them to take care of the alignment but was told to contact tire manufacturer. While talking to the manufacturer rep on the phone she advised that she had read memos from ford about problems with the alignment specs on the vehicle. Ford continues to refuse any kind…
