| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 f-250 4wd crew cab w/5. 4 liter v-8. In the last year there has been an increase in violent shaking from the front end after hitting potholes, patches, expansion joints, railroad tracks, etc. At highway speeds. Slower speeds are just annoying but at higher speeds (60 and up) the shakes become convulsions and the truck literally bounces and shakes uncontrollably. It takes slamming on the brakes and getting below 40mph to make it stop. I took the truck into the dealer last week (09july07) to have it looked at. After being in there for a day and a half they said they could find nothing wrong with it. They said they looked through all the tsb's and found nothing wrong with the truck. After research on the internet and your website here, it sounds like everyone is being told the same thing so i thought i would add my voice to the mix. I am somewhat apprehensive about driving my truck but right now am not financially able to trade it in on something else. |
