Skiduty,
Yes, this is a very common problem with these Super Duty trucks. It isn't the biggest deal in the world. You could have it fixed, but it's quite a bit of work, and still won't garrentee that it will stay in place more than a couple weeks after you've fixed it. If it were me, I'd wait until you had to do work that required pulling the steering knuckle/axle and just do it then. Like the next time you replace your ball joints for example.
Here's a pretty good/exhaustive thread on this topic. (Notice, I'm the one that started it....like you I just recently uncovered this neuance of owning a Super Duty.)
