I have a 2003 EXCUR with the 7.3 diesel and 85,000 miles, I just had all my front linkage reaplaced by a buddy that is a FORD front end Mech. Not only did I have play on but once in a whlie it would make my steering wheel wobble, so they replaced it all, ball joints, tie rods, all the steering linkage parts, new bearings, new shocks, and now it thumps like
my BMW, maybe even better , so have a FORD guy take a look at it, oh we it aligned too, good luck!

An age after buying my "GII Radius Rods", I found a local muffler & welding-shop that was prepared to fit the 'rods. Initial quotes were from $ 165 to $ 450 ! This fellow did it for $ 55 Californians are bent-out-of-shape worrying about law suits if something goes wrong!
My 2005, 5.4l gas, 2WD Excursion has 27000 miles on the clock. By comparison to the first 20-odd thousand miles, it drives like a SPORTS car now. I can't get enough of driving it. Oh man, just give me any excuse and I'm off down the road
I can't understand why Ford didn't make it standard. Dealers do a whole quick-step side-step dance when you ask them about the steering problem and I got nowhere.
Thanks for a great product and incredibly detailed technical support!
Best regards,
D
