“My truck is a 03. I got it with 32000 on it. I had to replace the steering idem arm. And since I got the truck this truck I have a had problem with a shocking in my front end of the truck when I make a turn. I have gone back to my dealer and I have taken it to 3 other people plus Ford dealer. I just found out that there was a recall on the drive shaft. It needed grease. Well, guess what that didn't work. I need to know what is wrong with this truck. There is a problem with this truck. My dealer will not take care of it and Ford dealer will not take care of this. …”
