Ford f-250 king ranch I am a 5 time repeat ford customer. My f-250 has a bounce in that cannot be cured. Ford had me replace all 4 tires to correct the problem with no results. After spending the money on the tires, ford tells me it is a normal characteristic of the truck. I have recent service invoices with "checked and ok at this time" ratings on all 4 of the old tires. Ford will not fix the problem, or refund my tires. I have been to 3 dealerships and in communication with ford motor company. This seems to be a common problem that ford does not want to stand behind.
2004 Ford F-250 SD suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 65 MPH, a vibration was felt from the steering wheel along with the front and rear of the vehicle. The service dealer and manufacturer replaced the entire front end, all axles, rotors, ring and pinion and wheel hubs, but the vibration continued. The manufacturer had an engineer test the vehicle and found the vibration to be within operating standards.*ak the fuel light illuminated, the center console squeaked, the lower ball joints were replaced. Updated 11/21/06.
Noticed a clunk in the front end over bumps. Inspected the front suspension and found over 7/16 side to side play in the left lower ball joint, and 3/8 side to side play in the right lower ball joint. I replaced both lower ball joints. I feel this is a very early failure and if left to get worse would cause an accident.
