| Description of the problem | 2005 f250 4x4 superduty 5. 4l crew cab, has very dangerous front wheel bounce on highway or near highway speeds(50-70)mph, the truck was in stock configuration when this started, approx. 26,000 miles have since put lift kit on truck and has helped but the bounce tendency is still there. Larger wheels and tires have helped out lot, with the factory wheels/tires on its a for sure thing when on highway and come across series of bumps or a pothole. I avoid the highway when possible due to the very violent bounce when this occurs, please have ford fix this problem. Selling this truck will not fix problem, and i have tried dealer suggestions i. E air pressure, alignment... Waiting for ford to correct this with recall, but none that i'm aware of, will death to a motorist prompt recall? I hope not, thank you |
