| Description of the problem | My 2004 f250 2wd superduty pickup shakes violently whenever i hit the smallest pothole or drive over railroad tracks. This caused my right tie rod to separate and run three people off the road. After new tie rods the problem still exist. This truck only has 81,000 miles on it . No one has any explanation as to what to do to fix this other than an after market steering stabilizer. Shouldn't ford be responsible for this fix before someone gets killed? |
