Description of the problem	On my 2005 ford diesel f250,after 126000 miles, steering became very loose. Had entire front end replaced including gear box. Rebuilder purchased motocraft rebuilt steering boxes from ford. Four of these rebuilt boxes were tried on the truck. None were any good. Builder said that this was a common problem with ford gear boxes. They indicated that the gear box rebuilders only replaced the bearings, not the worn-out gears within the box. The forth gearbox installed was even worse, it was dangerous. When driving on the freeway the truck would veer without warning into another lane and would be very difficult to correct. The truck is back in the shop again. This time to buy an after market (non ford) gear box. This vehicle's front end problem has so far cost me over $4000. In repairs, but , what is worse these gear box replacements could cause an accident.
