| Description of the problem | My 2005 ford f-250 super duty powerstroke diesel crew cab pick up truck shakes and shimmies violently when the front end hits a pot hole or travels over a road surface variation. I have had 4 incidents where on the freeway traveling at speeds in excess of 65 mph the vehicle began shaking and shimmying so violently that the truck changed lanes and was beyond my ability to control the vehicle. I was forced to take emergency action and exit the roadway. On one occasion the truck struck a fence pole adjacent to the road way after hitting a groove in the road at a speed of 45 mph. |
