| Description of the problem | Brought truck in for service due to hit pulling to the right and seemed to be sitting low. When the dealership removed front wheels it was discovered the both front coil springs had been broken. Both springs were broken diagonal at the base where it sits in the strut. Was told that the springs needed to be replaced in order for a proper alignment to be completed. Further research online shows that this is a very common issue in the ford f-150. Truck has never been taken off road or driven hard. Truck is taken well care of. |
