| My ford began acting strangely when turning, and would hydroplane badly when raining. i took it to my independent garage and they found that the left lower ball joint retaining nut had worked loose. that caused the left front wheel to move in toward the ball joint and the joint or nut tore the tire down to the steel belt. the service manager indicated that it appeared that the nut was not torqued correctly at the factory. of course, i had to have the ball joint replaced and two new tires. i did notify ford motor co. | |||

| Car has developed a noise in front end. a knocking when turning wheel at slow speeds. the ford dealer has put new struts, bearing plates and link pins on car. still has noise. i drove a new one sat and it did not do this. the dealer talked to ford about this and was told release the vehicle as normal and characteristic of design if noise is the same and also minimal if a new one does not make this noise, why does mine? my wife is concerned something is going to happen to the steering. *tr | |||
