Ball joints
Well it’s my turn for problems. The dealer just called saying that I need ball joints all around. I have an warranty but is was one of those aftermarket one, and if I’m with in 40 miles of the dealer I brought it from I have to go there to get warranty work done. There only 28 miles away. I took it in for 60,000 mile service on the transmissions and have the brakes look at , I do the oil, fuel and air filter’s my self. So now I have to go to the other dealer.
So how long does it take to replace the ball joints all 4, upper and lowers ?
I guess it my fault I didn’t get the FORD ESP warranty.
OK I guess that will do for the venting. John

John, what kind did they install, and do they have grease fittings? That will give you some idea how long they will last.

Only private shp was quoted at using grease fittings in my area, Ford puts in OEM & their price was double, plus ford claimed they couldd not align the truck, private shop included this, had truck in one day,
