Three problems related to front suspension control arm have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I am curious if anyone else has experienced this problem. I was told it is normal to replace ball joints, and control arms for both sides at 57000 miles.
Since the control arm keeps shifting due to the oblong hole that the bolt is held in, the alignment is always incorrect. . . Makes it hard to keep vehichle straight at 60 mph. If the lower control arm keeps shifting, I'm sure the bolt that keeps the control arm in place will eventually be sheared off. . . . . . Causing loss of control.
When hitting small pavement irregularities vehicle wandered all over the road. Also, consumer could see where the bolt on the lower control arm has moved. Dealer was aware of this problem, but did not have a solution. Please provide any further information.
