| Description of the problem | This morning i was driving my 2005 f250 4x4 about 40 mph when it started a death wobble. I had to pull over and came to a complete stop. I looked at the tires to determine if i lost a balance weight. I then proceeded about a half mile and stopped at a local store. When i left the death wobble started again. I keep the truck below 40mph and headed to the store where i purchased my tires. It happened again as i was entering the freeway. I again had to stop and pull over. I keep the truck below 40mph and arrived at the tire store where they balanced the front tires. When i left i again entered the freeway and the "death wobble" started again. I keep the truck below 40mph and used surface streets to get to the ford dealership where i purchased my truck. I will have the results tomorrow after over $700 worth of repairs. If i was towing my fifth wheel i think there would have been a bad traffic accident. |
