| 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. | |||
