“My 2003 f150 supercrew was purchased in june of 03. In august of 03 I noticed a pop in the right rearsuspension area when I stared from a stop. Later on in the year I noticed a pop as I rolled to a stop. I have spent my own money and time trying to find the problem and to this date I`m still poping starting and stopping. Ford don`t seem to care if it ever gets fixed.”
