Get to a tire and alignment shop for an inspection immediately. Ford has way more trouble with steering and suspension parts separating leading to loss of control and crashes than all other manufacturers combined. Noises must never be ignored, but when you have something shifting position, as you have obviously noticed, you're way overdue for serious misery.
