Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Wheel Pops When Turn Right While Driving


Apr 10, 2013

So I was backing in to my space at home last night when I hear this loud pop come from the front left. This morning when I left for class, I pulled out and it did the same thing again. I go out and looked under and behind the tire and nothing looked broken or caught.

I watched my tire as I turn the wheel. When I turn to the right, just as the wheel gets maybe 10-20 degrees past straight, it hangs up on something and the wheel pops and releases and continues it's motion. Then as it comes back to center, it hangs up in the same spot and finally breaks free and continues back to center. When it frees up on the return to center, the front end drops some, which makes me wonder if it's something with the suspension. The suspension is old and sags pretty low (I started a thread on that earlier).

While I'm driving, when I turn right, The Pop will happen, but will not pop when I straighten back out. then when I come to a stop, it will free up when I get to about 10mph, and the front end of my truck will literally jump to the left.

Needless to say, I drove home and parked my truck, where it will stay until I can figure out what the heck to do. What it might be? I'd prefer to fix it myself if possible. Its a 2000 F250 V10 2wd. I just replaced the front left caliper a few weekends ago, and the front left inner and outer tie rod end about a month ago. I had it aligned after the tie rod end, and now it is considerably out of alignment. the wheel sits about 45+ degrees to the right of center when I"m going straight.

I am extremely frustrated because of all of the stuff that has been popping up since I bought the truck. When I have the chance to go home in a few weeks after school lets out, the truck will be going straight to MY mechanic to have it looked over.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Excessive Movement In Steering Wheel While Driving

I have a 2005 F250 6.0.. I'm the third owner, only 146,000 miles on it. Had most of the front end replaced. Ball joints, tie rod ends, track bar bushing, front end alignment done...

Still likes to walk as I call it side to side while driving down the road. Factory size tires, factory rims. A little excessive movement in steering wheel while driving, side to side and not transferring to pitmen arm. So I think the gear box shot. Got to looking closer and the power steering box has a re-manufactured sticker on it, so thought about rebuilding it. I do not know where previous owner got gear box at.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F350 - Steering Wheel Locked While Driving

Yesterday while traveling about 30mph and starting into a slight left turn the steering wheel locked, when the brake pedal was applied it was rock hard and would not engage braking resulting in a single vehicle crash, no injuries. 8300 miles...

How would I make Ford aware of this incident and get them involved? Is it likely that such events may have been logged somehow in the computer? The truck is at our collision repair shop waiting for an insurance adjuster to inspect.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2006 F350 Dies When Hit Brakes Or Turn Wheel

I just can't seem to make sense of, 2006 f350 6.0 once it's been running for a min or so it will die when brake is pressed, also dies when you turn the wheel. Can't find any rub through or bad wiring.if you up rpm slightly it will not die with brake or steering. Tried removing belt thinking it possibly was a pulp and it doesn't die with the brake or steering but will die when going from drive to park. Thinking possible cps....

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Power Steering Wheel Won't Turn At All At A Complete Stop

I just bought the truck 2 days ago and the power steering is acting up. When I test drove it I noticed the power assist seemed weak but it has gotten way worse over 2 days.

Truck is a 2001 F250 4x4 V10 auto. 60k miles and totally stock except for Harley Edition wheels and stock size tires.

Now at a complete stop the wheel won't turn at all. If I roll it works. Doesn't matter if I rev the engine. It doesn't matter if I'm on or off the brakes. Tires have plenty of air. The pump is quiet and does not make any abnormal noises.

This is terrible because how can you maneuver a trailer if you can't turn the wheels when stopped.

I noticed the fluid was low and not reading on the dipstick. I added a few ounces and that's all it took with no change. I then used a suction pump to empty the reservoir with the truck off. The fluid was very dirty, probably the original fluid given the mileage. I removed about a quart and refilled it with fresh Mercon ATF. I also changed the serpentine belt because I noticed the belt was probably the original and was cracked.

It went away briefly tonight as I was playing with it. I thought I fixed it but I was fooled. What I did was remove the reservoir cap and turn the wheel from lock to lock while rolling forward slowly. Suddenly it was fixed . But 5 minutes later the problem was back.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Steering Locking Up When Make A Turn And Sometimes While Driving

I have a 2009 f250 4x4 . When i make a turn and sometimes while driving the steering locks up. Sometimes i have to jerk it back. Sometimes it feels like i have no power steering . And some times its seems the gear box is stripped. I had it to a mechanic look at it and all the steering and suspension parts are good. The u joints are also good. There has to be a HUGE problem with this issue, due to know one having a steering box, even the dealer. I have a truck that I can't drive...

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Steering Wheel Makes A Popping Noise Every Time Turn It

My steering wheel makes a popping noise at the same location every time I turn it, ie the 7:00 position. The popping is within the steering column inside the truck and sounds like its right behind the airbag. Its simply a popping noise and slight movement in the steering every time I turn the steering wheel from 12 to 7. I have no clue what it is and cant figure it out. My truck is a 2008 F250 2WD 5.4

This is a video of another person who appears to have the same exact problem, hopefully this will add some clarity to what I was trying to describe above. If you notice, when he turns it to the right, his steering wheel pops in the exact same location every time as well which is what mine is doing when I turn it to the left.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Real Wheel Flopping Around - Wheel Studs?

Heard a thumping yesterday as I'm getting on the highway at rush hour. I looked in the drivers mirror and I see my rear wheel flopping around. I had sheared off 6 of the 8 studs. After towing it home I pulled the wheel and tapped out the broken studs. I've never done this before so I'm a bit unsure as to how I get the new studs in. The drum brake assembly is behind the rotor and even if I pulled all that out it still doesn't look like I have enough room. Did I just discover this job is bigger than I thought?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2005 - While Tightening Up Turn Signal Bulbs - They Turn Towards Fender?

I picked up a set of harley davidson look-a-like headlights online for my 05. I go to install them and when I tighten them up it causes the turn signal bulbs to push in towards the fender on both. I put my hand back there and it feels like the bulb socket is being forced against the header panel assembly. Am I missing something?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2000 F350 - Turn Signals Do Not Work - Green Arrow Indicator Won't Even Turn On

I just got a 2000 F350 cc drw 7.3l.

I did search but have had no luck. My turn signals do not work, unless my foot is on the brake pedal my green arrow indicator wont even turn on. When they do my bulbs work but don't cycle so I know all the bulbs are good as I had my wife check all four corners when I got them to come on for a split second. I have tried replacing the MFS and the turn signal relay under the radio in the dash.... When I do turn on my blinkers I can hear the relay click once but that is it, no more.

I tried checking the wiring in the column and tilting the column to its extremes while trying to engage the turn signals. Also, if I unplug the brake light switch then I do not get an arrow on the IC to light up so I am guessing the power flows through that switch. I don't have a chilton manual yet and the owners manual was not in the truck. I did check fuse 23 ?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 - Super Coil Went Out While Driving?

One of the super coils busted while driving my 2002 F250 Super Duty. I drove it for less than 100 ft. before parking it. It made a rapid "check,check,check,check" sound, which I'm assuming was mainly the coil smacking against other parts while loose. It busted near the point where it screws into the motor. I felt like I lost some compression as it drove sluggishly once broken, although I only drove for a very short time. I also thought I may have smelt a slight burning scent, or maybe oil, but didn't smell anything once I got out of my truck. Any problems I should look forward to other than simply replacing this coil?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Going Down In Wheel Size?

So just as I think I have it figured out what size tire and wheel combo I want to go with, I began thinking about going from an 18" wheel to a 17". I can save some cash, have a few more tire size options and save on tire weight.

I know alot of guys go up to a 20" setup but that's just not my preference on trucks.

Any negative to doing this? 315/75/17 tire size interests me. Had that on a Wrangler and liked the look. Going to look a little more at 17" sizes before deciding.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Too Much Wheel Spin - No Traction

I seem to be having a issue on take off with my new Super Duty, it has the michelin atx2 tires than come on these trucks. On any hill or grade on take off she just spins and traction control flashes on dash, what the heck? Do I need to pull out the 4x4 switch to engage the e-locker so this thing will move? Seems crazy to have to put her into 4wheel when there is only a inch of snow on the ground... My 6.0 did this sort of due to all the torque it had, but that had those crap Contitracs on it till I swapped them for BFG at..
