Description of the problem	Steering is horrible in these trucks! Ford should be ashamed. There is play in the steering. Driving straight down the road the steering wheel can exhibit 1/4 turn of play either right or left, but the tires and truck are straight! Now if that's not unsafe, i don't know what is! I have no lift, and stock tires. The alignment is straight. I have found numerous complaints on forums of steering gear problems. I had my steering looked at and mechanics are clueless. This is a ford truck problem that has been an issue for years. Steering should be tight and precise not sloppy. I am begging the nhtsa to at least look into these, this matter is worthy of your time and i am sure an investigation will reveal numerous complaints of steering boxes that go loose or wear prematurely and steering components that break. I am sure ford has records of thousands of complaints and repairs on this because its been a problem for years and continues to be a problem.
