| At 24075 miles the front brakes had to be replaced, the rotors also were turned but the pedal was not pulsing ford just turned them anyway, at 35735 i needed new upper ball joints with allignment , at 38571 i needed a new tie rod sleeve . there seems to be a verry low standard of quality in both the brakes and the front suspension components there are no grease fittings supplied from ford on the suspension components, this is a must if you want anything related to the front suspension to last especially when the vehicle is used for fleet purposses. thank you greg.*ak | |||
