They are trying to determine if Fords part failed (rack and pinion) otherwise my insurance will cover it. (Pothole). My insurance will help me go after Ford if they feel that part failed and Ford won't man up.
I did not check per say. Pulled out of a parking spot and car was steering all crazy. Ford regional manager sent somebody out Along with my insurance adjuster today. Preliminary findings are that the rack and pinion failed. When my left front wheel was moving around like crazy it bent my...
Thank you. The first her truck driver just looked at my car and said he could not get it on his flatbed. (Lazy). Second driver came and put it on dollies . This thing is kind a like trying to solve a murder. Know the damage just don't know how it happened. With the way the tire rod is bent...
I went back to where my car failed and found this in the street. Looks to me like the seal failed on the ball joint. Can anybody tell me shouldn't the seal be smooth. You can see grooves in the seal. Where the seal is broken is where one of the grooves is. The seal is pretty rusted for 1900...

I am still very puzzled how the bushing cap Could have shared off. It sits pretty far inside the wheel. To bend the rod I would have no doubt that I would've felt it. Not one mark on the wheel or the tire. I guess it could be possible that after the pushing failed and driving it for about...
the second pic is the right side and you can see how the rod is scratched in the exact same spot as the left. I think the bushing failed which caused the wheel problem in the first place.
The lower control are ball joint and cap did come off that was the initial problem. Any ideas how that would come off. It is sheared off is has jagged edges like pot metal. The rest of the damage is due to the tow truck driver. I am claiming to Ford ball joint cap that came off is their defect...
