I have a 2007 Ford F150 4WD pickup truck. I have 22,000 miles on the truck and just had to replace both front upper ball joints. When I took it to the Ford garage they indicated this is a common failure. My concern is that the failure mechanism if the upper ball joint fails is for the wheel to fold under the vehicle and potentially rupture the brake lines in the process. They indicated this failure would be worse while pulling a trailer. I contacted Ford Motor Company and they offered no explanation or assistance as the truck is off warranty.
2007 Ford F-150 4X4 had the 4X4 shift on the fly activate on hard pavement while merging onto highway while on the on ramp, car lurched forward and very loud bang almost like a gunshot happened at 50 miles an hour. Caused the truck to swerve to the right onto shoulder narrowly missing the abutment. The cause is faulty vacuum actuators and shift motor. This happened repeatedly and was especially pronounced in right turns causing for imprecise turning and handling of the vehicle.
