2 Brake Foundation Components problem of the 2002 Ford F-250

Failure Date: 01/01/2003

My 2002 f250 4x4 super duty has the typical front end side to side shudder when brakes are applied. I bought this truck in alaska shipped it to montana, and noticed the shudder, took it to helena mt. Ford dealer and they replaced the front calipers and rotors. Same problem. I suspect the ball joints are defective, or the rotors are not designed for the weight of the vehicle. I am sure as these get older something will fail for someone and a law suit will ensue. This seems to be an ongoing problem.
