Looks like honda's aren't the only ones with their wheels falling off.

Damn, is that who makes the F150? I never knew.

[pinoyhero]

Wow, that's just crazy, I saw that happen to a Civ a few years back. I can't believe the repair bill for something like that...

[LuxCars]

Well, lets try and pinpoint your problem, it seems that something has gone wrong....but what?...



























Oh yeah, here it is.

Actually, the problem is preventative maintenance. It has nothing to do with Ford.

Why don't you try not changing your oil in your honda and see how long it lasts.

dude thats a honda. :rolleyes:
































:rofl:

but seriously, good luck palmiros, i hope you get it fixed up. See if there is anyway you can link it to ford and talk to them about what they can do. But if its because of mal-treatment then i hope you find a good cheap mechanic.

By his original post I don't think it's actually his truck.

That has to totally suck balls though.

Yup. You're right, not my truck. I was just walking around and I saw it abandoned in a parking lot.

I'm surprised anybody would let their ball joints get THAT bad whereas thats even a possibility. :nut:

[Annoyingrob]

Wasn't there a recall on the lower ball joints on those trucks?

That was the Toyota Tacoma just recently that you might be thinking of.

No, this was a recall from quite a few years back. I may be thinking the previous gen trucks.

Had something similar happen to me a couple years ago, made me pucker after I realized how bad it could have been.

In my situation it was not a case of lack of upkeep, there was a recall on it just after I had the work done to fix it.

I was driving to work (Bragg Creek -> central north Calgary) on Hwy 1 and hit a pothole on 16th Avenue right at the base of the hill leading up to the Foothills Hospital (this was before the new Children's was built, and long before the new interchange was even a pipe dream). The truck seemed to jump about a foot to the right, which startled me, but I corrected my path and carried on.

I went thru the Burger King drive-thru at 16th x 19th NW, and intended to go into the North Hill Mall to stop at Shopper's for some snacks prior to carrying on. So I went down 14th Av to go in the back way.

When I crossed the LRT tracks just east of 19th, my front end was shaking so violently I had to stop the truck lest I lose control of it. I managed to limp it into the parking lot and found that the right front wheel had become separated from the steering rack. I'm sure that's what I felt at 16 x Shag, and just before that, I had been doing ~110 on the highway.. who knows what would have happened if it had packed it in on me out there. :eek:
