| Investigated complaint of clunking noise and poor handling of truck normally driven by my son. it is a 1995 ford f150 2wd w/ 5.0l. found rear hangers on both leaf springs had rusted out and springs were now bearing directly on the bottom of the truck bed with no connection to frame. shackles were also rusted to a dangerous state. also observed a fracture in a similarly rusted and weakened front suspension component which will have to be replaced in the near future. ground off rivets and removed hangers and shackles. replaced with parts purchased from local ford dealer. he knew exactly what i needed. stated that this was happening to many other owners of 1990 ford pickups. total cost for parts ~$150 so far plus ~ 6 hours of labor. *jb | |||

| I noticed that my truck (1995 ford f150) lowered quickly upon being loaded and that it felt unstable. the bed of my truck was fully loaded and while going around a corner i nearly lost control. after this incident i inspected the rear springs to notice the rear mounts that attach the leaf springs to the frame had totally rusted apart and where no longer attached to the frame. i have now purchased parts and plan to repair ($116.00) *jb | |||
