Stabilizer bar
The front stailizer bar on my f150 has been disonnected. Looks like the linkage bolts broke off on both sides. The bar freely moves up and down.
Question. I recently discovered this problem when I began noticing the car pulling to the right. Could the stabillizer bar be responsible for premature and uneven wear on my tires and possibly the pulling problem?
Everyone who owns an f150 tells me that I probably need ball joints and a tie rod. I think it just may simply be the stabilizer bar disconnection. What do you all think?
I think I'll have the mechanic reattach the stabilizer bar and align the front end after I buy a new set of tires.

Welcome ! Shearing end links off is not uncommon. Buy 2 end link kits and put them back on before you screw more stuff up. It's a simple 15 minute job. It doesn't require an alignment. If you think you have any other worn suspension components, have a complete suspension evaluation performed before you have an accident.
