Hi guys i was wondering if anyone ever had this problem. I have a 2001 f250 with 80,000 on it. If im driving at 50 mph and step on the brake when coming to a light, when im at around 15 mph i hear and feel a clunk under my feet. I had it into ford to look at and the mechanic changed the leaf spring bushing, but it still does it. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

check ball joints..

99% of the time, it's the ball joints. Do a search on the forum... plenty of threads on how to check them, how to replace them and what to replace them with.

Oh, and: Welcome to the forum!

 

I have a 1999 F-250 4X4 v10 with 60,000. My truck was doing the same thing, also the left front tire was leaning in towrds the fender well. I replaced the ball joints on both sides and fixed the problem. Make sure you replace them with the greasable kind. I did not have the time to do it my self, I paid $750.00 for parts and labor. This included new seals on the hubs. The old ones had never been replaced. Hope this helps, good luck!

 

thanks guys, im going back to the dealer friday.
