PART IS RIVETED TO FRAME.  BOTH COMPONENTS FAILED:  (A)  CAUSING RADIUS ARM TO 'FLOP' IN ITS BORE, STEERING & BRAKING CONTROL PROBLEMS; (B) CAUSES RADIUS ARM AND NUT AND INSULATOR TO PROTRUDE FORCEFULLY THROUGH THE BRACKET, DUE TO METAL FATIGUE.      THE BRACKETS ACT AS AN EXTENSION OF THE 1/4\" THICK FRAME, BUT  ARE CONSTRUCTED OF 14 GA MILD STEEL, CONNECTED TO A 3/4\" SOLID, TREATED, PIVOTING ROD BY AN 1 1/4\"  NUT, AT HIGH TORQUE SETTING.    TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD POTENTIALLY BE DISASTROUS UPON FAILURE, AS THE PROPER CAMBER OF THE FRONT WHEELS RELY ON THEIR INTEGRITY.  -FORD PARTS WORKER ASSURES, \"WE REPLACE THOSE ALL THE TIME.\"    #2 FAILURES OF  BOTH REAR LEAF SPRING-SHACKLE FRAME BRACKETS.    UNDER-ENGINEERED, .020\" THICK BRACKETS, INTEGRAL TO 1/4\" FRAME, BY 1/2\" RIVETS.  BOTH PARTS 'RIPPED', CAUSING SHACKLES AND THE LEAF SPRINGS TO BANG INTO THE TRUCK BOX AND BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY UPON HIGHWAY DRIVING.    FAILURE OF SECOND BRACKET DUE TO CORROSION OF METAL - MUCH TOO THIN FOR THE JOB. PICTURES CONCLUDE THE NEGLIGENCE IN ITS DESIGN.*    BRACKETS, GRADE 8 BOLTS AND NUTS, BUSHING AND SHACKLES MUST BE REPLACED SIMULTANEOUSLY IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE ISSUE:  BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL INFERIORITY.      Q:  HOW DOES ONE ACCESS DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE SUITABILITY OF A VEHICLE'S STRUCTURAL COMPONENT?  --DOES THE GOVERNMENT NOT HAVE ANY STANDARDS FOR FORD TO FOLLOW?  --DO THE ENGINEERS FOLLOW THE LAWS OF BASIC PHYSICS WHEN THEY DESIGN THIS SORT OF COMPONENT?  --CAN FORD REALLY GET AWAY WITH SELLING A PRODUCT THAT IS EXPECTED TO FAIL, ONLY TO   MAKE MONEY ON THE RESALE OF A REPLACEMENT?  --SAFETY STANDARDS MUST BE PUT INTO PLACE SOMEWHERE:  WHO ENFORCES THEM?  -- WHO WAS THE ENGINEER?  WHO APPROVED THE PLANS FOR THESE FAILED PARTS, WELL ANTICIPATING THAT THEY WOULD LEND THEMSELVES TO FAILURE?KINDEST REGARDS,  SOL KOTT  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1995","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
