Coil over shock was leaking |
27000 mi | IWE's were replaced after complaining for a long time about a faint sound like there was piece of a soda can stuck in the front left wheel hub. The sound was consistent with the rotational speed of the wheels and was most audible around 45mph. It was not a loud grinding noise that sounds like you have knobby tires when you don't. It was a faint sound but it drove me crazy. The sound was still there after the IWE's were replaced on both sides. |
36000 mi | One of the IWE's (I think it was the front right) failed after using 4H in a snow storm. There was a loud grinding noise that sounded like I had mud tires on even though I didn't. This is an on going problem with a lot of f-150's, so much so that my service writer told me there was a national shortage of IWE's for f-150s!!! Since then I have felt somewhat skeptical of the Ford brand. However, since this last repair the IWE's seem to be holding out just fine. I guess we'll see what happens in the long run. I did have to use 4H again for another really bad snow storm where I drove about 15 miles on snowpacked roads going about 20-30 mph. |
