Four problems related to steering tie rod assembly have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I turned right into a paint store parking lot after leaving a major highway (m-32) with my 1999 Ford f250 (69000 miles) and noticed a slipping feeling in my steering. When I tried to back up to leave the paint store my right front wheel was pointed to the far right and my left wheel was straight. I looked under the right wheel area and saw the tie rod end was separated from the steering rod. I had the truck transported on a flat bed to a repair shop. I had all the tie rod ends replaced. The repair shop, bedford's muffler & brake (9893458732) has seen this same type of failure recently on a Ford. I have the failed parts and have contacted Ford over a week ago. They have not responded.
The front tire rod fell off the vehicle. The dealer was notified. Both front outer tie rod ends were replaced.
While turning into driveway at 30 mph the tie rod end fell off.
While mechanic was installing new tires he noticed that the tie rod on the front right side was severely worn, destroyed.
