I HAVE FOUND OUT SINCE THAT THERE HAS BEEN THREE OTHER 1998 FORD F150 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE TRUCK WAS SERVICED AT PAWLING FORD AND THE OTHER TWO AT PLEASANT VALLY FORD, PLEASANT VALLY, NY. YOU BEGIN TO WONDER IF THIS BE LOOKED AT CLOSER AND POSSIBLY A RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS(ALL THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR). MY FAMILY & I ARE QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT PART, AND SHOULD THE OTHER SIDE BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I HAD BEEN GOING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS SPIN AND EVENTUALLY AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, THIS HAPPENED IN WATERTOWN (300 MILES AWAY) WHERE I WAS ATTENDING MY UNCLES' FUNERAL. THE TRUCK IS STILL THERE AWATING THE PART. THE TRUCK IS AT WATERTOWN FORD, WATERTOWN, NY (315-782-7200). I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, ESPECIALLY TO A TRUCK THIS NEW.
