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.
