Driving on bestbuy parking lot, went over a speed bumper heard a loud clunk coming from driver side front tire. Drove home, stopped van, got help, while turning the steering to left, loud metal clunk from that driver side, helper on floor noticed that bottom bolt holding power steering box is going in and out, rusted on front and back of frame, this box should be mounted on reinforced brackets front and back of frame then welded to frame to protect occupants from possible separation of box and frame with consequent loss of control and possible accident (could be fatal when driving the vehicle). So, with the engine on, in park, if the steering is turn to the left, driver will feel and hear the clunk.
I have just recently lost the rear shock mount due to too extreme rust of the frame, Ford does not make a replacement part for this. And the frame is now cracking in two. Contacted the dealer and was told to buy a new frame really. Well it will not be long till the other side goes. Or my frame breaks in two and causes serious injury to me or others. This is a common problem with this year truck and Ford don't seem to care. If the frame needs replaced it should be at their expense not mine recall time. Their are hundreds of thousands still on the road I am not the only one.
