Multi-step torque procedures OEM · verified

Inspection Procedure (Upper) — tightening sequence 1 stages

Check the ball joint and boot for any damage. Step 3: Measure the ball joint deflection with a dial indicator that has a flexible arm by attaching between the axle and track bar at the ball joint. Dial indicator should be aligned as close as possible to the center line of the ball joint. Step 4: Push up and pull down on the track bar by hand until reading is on indicator. Step 5: Replace the ball joint if dial indicator readings exceed specifications.

Inspection Procedure (Lower) — tightening sequence 1 stages

Check the ball joint and boot for any damage. Step 3: Measure the ball joint deflection with a dial indicator that has a flexible arm by attaching between the axle and wheel knuckle at the lower ball joint. Dial indicator should be aligned as close as possible to the center line of the lower ball joint. Step 4: Push in and pull out on the wheel and tire assembly at the top and bottom by hand until reading is on indicator. Step 5: Replace the ball joint if dial indicator readings exceed specifications.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty top in one area — the power train, 14 of 116 reports (12%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 4 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the power train pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
