5 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1998

I have taken my truck in to the dealer three times to get them to fix the problem. They thought they had it fixed the first time. The other times I was told that Ford was aware of the problem, but didn't know how to fix it yet! a popping noise comes from the rear of my 4x4 crewcab every time that I go over a bump at slow speeds.

6 Suspension problem

When towing trailer and or when carrying weight in the rear of the box, upon hitting a large bump or a smaller roller type bump the truck swerves left and right and the steering seems to pull somewhat. The servicing local deler said there is technical service bulletin on this problem but not for the F-250, only for the f-350 and up . They said they can not order the parts to fix mine because Ford has not given approval for this. The technical service bulletin from Ford concerning this problem , I believe is tsb99-8-2.

7 Suspension problem

While driving the vehicle becomes very unstable whenever there is a change in surface material, ie. Expansion joints, causing the vehicle to shake uncontrollably and causing the driver to veer off the road into the median strip. Nlm.

8 Suspension problem

Severe vibration at any speed seemingly from front drive train (bearings, axels, hubs)? the only way I can drive the truck is to engage the front left axel. Otis Ford has been trying to find the problem for two and a half months replacing parts that didn't solve the problem. I am waiting now for three weeks for parts they have ordered to try to fix this problem.
