Default Suspension?

I just picked up my 04 triton v8 and it’s been great but all of a sudden I think the whole suspension is falling apart it had a loud vibration with a hum when I got it but 2 days ago it started dragging to the right and I changed the brake pads a few days ago one of my passenger front pads just fell off and it was completely ground down no pad left well now it says on the passenger side in the front it has trouble getting up to speed shifting feels odd I’m pretty sure the issues with the steering is just a ball joint but I’m gonna replace all of it on both sides just not sure if it could be shocks to cause bumps feel like rocks now it’s also got a short somewhere the only way my windows roll down is from driver panel can’t unlock them because it’s broken and every one of my 10 amp fuses aren’t getting power after the test light testing

Promptly return the truck to whom you bought it from and demand a full refund.

Sell the car online. Cash the check quick, then disappear.

Fix one thing at a time
Shake the front end down or go in for an alignment and they will tell you what needs to be replaced
For the windows
Make sure no wires are broken in the drivers door accordion (or any of the other doors wiring)
Then pull the door panels and test the wires at the window motors, switching power and ground as you use the switches
The alignment is what is most likely causing the pulls right
Have it aligned, replace the brakes
Have fun with it

oh I am I did the brake job already but due to asshat not maintenancing his vehicle one of my pads fell off after being ground down to bare metal in 2 days I ordered a front end replacement kit off Amazon for 100$ it comes with the a arms ball joints sway bar links and tie rod ends and that should solve the standing like /—-\ this issue and just swap those pads again also after picking up a ford manual I found a recall for the clutch plate I believe would cause a short in turn making all kinds of **** **** up hence why old owner didn’t know anything was wrong cause the short caused no lights to appear on dash so if you never run the codes you’d never know
