Wheel bearing failure allows wheels to lean it that top
next is ball joint failure followed by suspension bush failure
Take it to an accredited suspension shop and when finished with the repairs have a wheel alignment done

sounds like the problem is in the valving in the steering box. You may have to get a new steering box. i would get it checked.

SOURCE: 95 ef ford sedan suspension problem

What was said about the wear of the front end part when the alignment was given? I could be wrong but, I would say, Not likely for the tie rod ends and definately not the shocks for knocking sounds.. It sounds more like bad ball joints poping, although the idler arm and tye rod ends could be worn also .

it could be the front axle u-joint binding up. i had the same problem, and that's what it was. i put greaseable u-joints on both sides.

SOURCE: far to much steering wheel play befor tire reaction

Loosen nut on top of steering gear box. Tighten adjustment bolt 1/4 turn at a time then tighten nut. Drive and see if it hold together better. Repeat until you can't tighten adjustment bolt any more. If it's still iffy, replace your steering gear box.

Check your u-joints in your front axles. It sounds like it is time to replace them.

Wnen ever i apply brakes at a stop sign it vibrate ot when i turn left it vibrates

If it tries pull the steering wheel back and forth, it is brake rotors. If it just vibrates threw the body and steering, it is the right side wheel bearing.

Why won't my 2003 ford taurus start? The theft light is on.

If the key will not turn, tryy wiggling the steering wheel back and forth while trying to turn key. Sometimes you have to pull on it hard to get it to turn and release.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kim_3202917d7c587455

I have a ford focus 2003- today when I exited the car nothing was unusual..when I went to try to go to work the key will go in ignition but won't turn AT ALL. Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

your steering wheel has tension on it - are your front wheels parked against a curb or were you turning your steering wheel while you shut off the car? Try pulling hard left and turning the key. If that doesn't work, pull hard right while turning the key. You may have to pull really hard if you are a smaller person.

Is there a fuse for the high beams on a 2003 ford e150 van? if so where is it located?

I suggest check in the passenger compartment fuse panel; the fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses...

zjlimited_813.gif

Position 25 with 10A for Left headlamp (low beam) , position 30 with 15A Headlamps (high beam indicator), DRL10A , and position 31 with 10A Right Headlamp (Low Beam), DRL.

If you are interesting, this and other details could find in Ford Owners Manual or clicking over image.

Hope this helps and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Need to change the ignition switch

Remove panel under steering wheel. Put key in cylinder and turn back to accessory position. Looking under lower part of steering column locate a small pin under the key cylinder. While depressing the pin turn the key backwards and pull the entire cylinder with key out of column. Good luck.

Rotor, Caliper and Pads

it is best to replace both sides to prevent a pulling problem when you brake, but you can replace just one side.

1995 ford e150 van

What flasher? Electronic Flasher in fuse box under dash? Check ground to wires that are connected to the turn signals and hazzards. Rewire a new ground and screw it to the body of the van and see if that works. If not check fuses 1 and 4 see if they are good. Use a test light and check both sides while plugged into fuse box. If that doesn't work pull and check fuses and clean them to be sure there is a good connection.
